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.
| Level | Q | W | E | R |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 10s | 12s | 10s | – |
| 6 | 10s | 12s | 10s | 1m |
| 9 | 10s | 11.5s | 10s | 1m |
| 11 | 10s | 11s | 10s | 50s |
| 16 | 10s | 10s | 9s | 40s |
| 18 | 10s | 10s | 8s | 40s |
The classic combo is Q (root) → E (zone) → R (laser) → detonate E: the root guarantees the full burst lands.
Your E (Lucent Singularity) reveals the area — use it to check bushes before walking into them.
As support, your W shield (Prismatic Barrier) hits allies on the way out AND back — position yourself to hit as many teammates as possible.
Your R (Final Spark) has a very short cooldown with Ability Haste — don't hesitate to use it to clear waves or secure objectives.
The Illumination passive adds bonus damage on the next auto — weave autos between spells to maximize your burst.

Playing against Lux
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Her entire combo depends on Q (root): stay behind your minions because it can only root the first 2 targets hit.
Her E is slow and predictable — move laterally as soon as she casts it to exit the zone before she detonates.
Lux is very vulnerable to all-ins: with no mobility and long cooldowns pre-level 6, engage after she misses Q.
Buy Cleanse or take Purify if you're an ADC — her Q root followed by burst can one-shot you in mid/late game.
