Twisted Fate vs Lux

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Twisted Fate controls the lane by managing wave priority and threatening Gold Card picks to pressure Lux's poke and binding attempts.
Maintain medium lane pressure to deny Lux a passive scaling lane and enable impactful roams with R.

Trading pattern

Trade short bursts when Gold Card is selected and Lux's Lux Q is on cooldown to avoid her root and shield combo.
Use Q and autos to control waves and only commit to trades if Gold Card stun can be reliably landed.
Respect Lux's poke pattern with Lux E slow and Lux R damage by maintaining spacing and dodging Lux Q.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Gold Card is not ready, as Lux can all-in with Lux Q root and follow-up burst.
Avoid extended trades when Lux's Lux R is available and Lux Q is off cooldown.
When R is down, side lanes lose pressure, so avoid risky roams that sacrifice wave control.

Early game

Use Q to clear waves safely and avoid extended trades where Lux's Lux Q root and poke combo dominate.
Hold Gold Card to punish Lux if she mispositions or wastes Lux Q, enabling short trades or setup for roams.
Avoid standing in Lux Q range without Gold Card ready to prevent root and burst damage.

Power spikes

Twisted Fate's major spike is level 6 with R, enabling map pressure and pick opportunities.
Lux's major spikes are level 6 with Lux R and first completed mage item, increasing her burst threat.
Prioritize first AP or utility item spike to enhance Twisted Fate's pick and waveclear potential.

Win conditions

Win by controlling the wave and threatening Gold Card picks to force Lux out of lane or punish mistakes.
Use R to create side-lane numbers advantage and capitalize on Lux's immobility and skillshot reliance.
Deny Lux safe scaling by pressuring her with wave control and punishing missed Lux Q to snowball map pressure.
