Lux is a long-range control mage who excels at dealing burst damage from a safe distance. Her success relies heavily on skillshot accuracy and cooldown management.

• Passive (Illumination): Marks enemies hit by abilities, dealing bonus magic damage when triggered by auto-attacks or Final Spark
• Q (Light Binding): Roots two enemies for 2 seconds, crucial for setting up combos
• W (Prismatic Barrier): Shield that protects Lux and allies twice
• E (Lucent Singularity): Area slow and damage, excellent for waveclear
• R (Final Spark): Long-range laser dealing high burst damage

Optimal Skill Order:

1. E - Lucent Singularity
2. Q - Light Binding
3. W - Prismatic Barrier Ultimate (R) whenever available

Core Build:

• Starting: Doran's Ring + 2 Health Potions
• Core Items: Luden's Tempest > Sorcerer's Shoes > Horizon Focus
• Situational: Rabadon's Deathcap, Void Staff, Zhonya's Hourglass

Playstyle Tips:

• Use E for safe farming and harass
• Save Q for defensive purposes or guaranteed hits
• Position safely behind team and walls
• Chain CC with Q into full combo for maximum damage
• Use W proactively to shield allies during teamfights
• Look for picks with Q + R combo on isolated targets

• Safe long-range gameplay

• Excellent wave clear
• Team utility with shields and CC

Weaknesses:
