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.
Playing against Ezreal
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Stay behind your minions
Stay behind your minions: Mystic Shot (Q) hits the first enemy, and each time it hits you, all his cooldowns go down.
- All-in after his E
Go all-in when he has used Arcane Shift (E) to move forward: it's his only escape, on a 26 to 14 second cooldown.
- Fight head-on
Look for head-on teamfights, behind your frontline: Mystic Shot (Q) stops on the first enemy hit, and Essence Flux (W) on the first champion.
- Beware his R at low health
At low health, beware of Trueshot Barrage (R) even far from him: the shot crosses the whole map and hits every unit in its line.
