Lux vs Yone

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Lux is a high-pressure artillery mage who must control the lane with poke and binding to deny Yone's all-in attempts.
Use your range advantage to prevent Yone from comfortably stacking his Q and engaging with E + Q combo.

Trading pattern

Trade by poking with E and follow up with Q root when Yone oversteps after using E for engage.
Punish Yone's E usage since he is vulnerable after it ends and his position is revealed.
Respect Yone's third Q knockup and his R; avoid extended trades when these are available.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Yone has Q stacks ready for knockup or his R available for displacement and engage.
Avoid trading or poking immediately after missing Q, as Yone can punish your cooldowns.
Respect Yone's E usage timing; he is most dangerous when he can engage and snap back with it.

Early game

Start by poking with E and threatening root with Q to keep Yone at bay before level 6.
Avoid reckless Q usage to prevent Yone from punishing your cooldowns and engaging all-in.
Use W to shield yourself from Yone's burst when he commits to trades.

Power spikes

Major spikes: Lux's level 6 R and first completed mage item significantly increase burst potential.
Respect Yone's level 3 power spike when he unlocks his full Q-W-E combo with shield and gap close.
Watch for Yone's first back power spike with attack speed items that enhance his all-in threat.

Win conditions

Win by controlling lane range and punishing Yone's E mispositions with Q root into burst combo.
Use your poke and binding to deny Yone safe access to farm and force him to play reactively.
Reach level 6 and item spikes to burst Yone before he can engage, maintaining lane pressure to limit his scaling.
