Naafiri vs Lux

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Naafiri needs to use Q poke to chip Lux before committing to all-ins with W and R.
Apply lane pressure to prevent Lux from safely using Lux Q and E to control the wave and poke.

Trading pattern

Start trades with Q poke to apply bleed and wait for Lux to use Lux Q or Lux W.
Commit with W and E only when Lux's Lux Q is down and she is low on health.
Use R to enhance chase and secure kills on isolated or low-health Lux.

Danger windows

Avoid engaging when Lux's Lux Q root and Lux W shield are ready.
Be cautious when Lux has Lux R available for burst damage.
Do not commit W into Lux's crowd control or shield windows to avoid being punished.

Early game

Use Q to poke Lux early and force her to play cautiously around Lux Q cooldown.
Avoid engaging with W when Lux's Lux Q root or Lux W shield is available.
Look for short trades after Lux misses Lux Q to punish her low mobility.

Power spikes

Naafiri's level 6 R greatly improves chase and burst potential.
First lethality item completion boosts Q poke and all-in threat.
Respect Lux's level 6 Lux R burst and first mage item power spike for heavy poke and kill pressure.

Win conditions

Win by landing consistent Q poke to lower Lux's health and force defensive play.
Use R to isolate Lux and commit to all-ins when her Lux Q and Lux W are on cooldown.
Deny Lux safe scaling by pressuring her with poke and punishing missed Lux Q skillshots.

Tip: For Naafiri vs Lux, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
