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 Draven

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Catch every axe

    Catch every Spinning Axe (Q): you ready another one immediately, and you can hold two at once.

  2. Recast W on each axe

    Recast Blood Rush (W) with each axe you catch: each catch resets its cooldown, and the spell gives you move speed and attack speed.

  3. Cash in your Adoration

    Go for the kill when your League of Draven (passive) stacks are high: killing a champion gives you bonus gold based on your Adoration.

  4. Knock back whoever engages you

    Save Stand Aside (E) to push back whoever engages you: the axes knock them aside and slow them.

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.
