Playing as Lux

Tips to maximize your impact

Start with Light Binding
Start with Light Binding (Q), then Lucent Singularity (E) and Final Spark (R) before detonating the singularity: the root makes sure everything hits.
Weave an auto between spells
Slip in an auto after each spell that hits: it triggers Illumination (passive) for extra magic damage, and Final Spark (R) triggers it too.
Light up brush with your E
Cast Lucent Singularity (E) into a brush before walking in: the area is revealed, and a hidden enemy would be slowed.
Shield your allies twice
Cast Prismatic Barrier (W) through as many allies as you can: the wand shields them on the way out, then again on the way back.
Use your R often
Cast Final Spark (R) to clear a wave or secure an objective: it only has a 60 to 40 second cooldown, depending on rank.

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

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.
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.
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.
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.

Abilities and cooldowns

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.
