Vel'Koz vs Lux

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use long-range (Q) poke angles to pressure Lux and deny her ADC access early.
Control side brush to limit (Q) root engage and protect your ADC's positioning.
Leverage your (E) knockup for peel and disengage to counter Lux's poke and burst attempts.

Trading pattern

Use split (Q) angles combined with (W) to layer poke and force Lux's shield cooldown.
Hold (E) to peel for your ADC or punish Lux's engage attempts after her (Q) misses.
Coordinate trades when (Q) root is down to maximize ADC follow-up damage safely.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) root range and brush angles that threaten your ADC's positioning.
Avoid channeling (R) near enemy engage cooldowns or when (Q) is available to punish.
Watch for Lux's level 6 (R) all-in window combined with her ADC's follow-up damage.

Early game

Prioritize winning the level 2 poke and knockup window with your ADC to gain lane priority.
Maintain brush control to prevent Lux from landing surprise (Q) roots and enable safer ADC follow-up.
Use wave pressure to create space for your ADC and set up potential roams after crashing the wave.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your (Q) poke plus (E) knockup, enabling strong engage or peel with ADC follow-up.
Level 3 completes your poke pattern; use it around brush control and (Q) cooldown.
Level 6 (R) burst can finish slowed or knocked-up targets; use it with confirmed ADC follow-up and vision control.

Win conditions

Convert poke damage and knockup control into denied enemy ADC positioning and safer ADC access.
Use vision control around river and dragon to secure objective setups and punish Lux's roams.
Roam after crashing waves only when your ADC is safe and follow-up is guaranteed to maintain lane pressure.
