Illumination (P)

Lux's damaging spells charge the target with energy for a few seconds. Lux's next attack ignites the energy, dealing bonus magic damage (depending on Lux's level) to the target.

Playing as Corki

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Poke and reveal with your bomb

    Poke with Phosphorus Bomb (Q): the area and the champions hit are revealed for a few seconds, enough to follow an opponent into a brush.

  2. Start your trades with Gatling Gun

    Start your trades with Gatling Gun (E): it lowers the armor and magic resist of the enemies hit while it fires.

  3. Save the Big One

    Save the Big One, every third missile of Missile Barrage (R), for a champion: it deals much more damage than the other missiles.

  4. Save Valkyrie to escape

    Save Valkyrie (W) to escape rather than to engage: without it, you're vulnerable for its 20 to 12 second cooldown.

  5. Don't engage alone with the package

    Only engage with Special Delivery if your team can follow: after using it, as after Valkyrie (W), you're vulnerable.

Playing against Lux

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Keep two minions between you and her

    Stay behind at least two minions: Light Binding (Q) roots the first two enemies hit, so a single minion doesn't protect you.

  2. Step up when she misses Q

    Step up when Light Binding (Q) misses you: it's her only root, with a 10-second cooldown, and she has no dash to escape.

  3. Get out of her singularity fast

    Step out to the side as soon as Lucent Singularity (E) lands: the zone slows you, then explodes when it expires or when Lux detonates it.

  4. Don't run in a straight line

    At low health, change direction as you back off: Final Spark (R) is a straight beam that reaches very far and fires after a charge-up.
