Playing against Lux

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Her entire combo depends on Q (root): stay behind your minions because it can only root the first 2 targets hit.

2

Her E is slow and predictable — move laterally as soon as she casts it to exit the zone before she detonates.

3

Lux is very vulnerable to all-ins: with no mobility and long cooldowns pre-level 6, engage after she misses Q.

4

Buy Cleanse or take Purify if you're an ADC — her Q root followed by burst can one-shot you in mid/late game.
