Playing as Lux

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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 Galio

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade after his E

    Take a trade after Justice Punch (E): it's his only dash, on an 11 to 7 second cooldown.

  2. Lean on physical damage

    If you deal physical damage, lean on it in trades: the passive shield of Shield of Durand (W) only absorbs magic damage.

  3. Leave his taunt area

    Leave the area while he charges Shield of Durand (W): the longer he charges, the longer and wider the taunt.

  4. Check where he is before a dive

    Before diving one of his allies, check where Galio is: Hero's Entrance (R) flies him in from long range to an allied champion, and his landing is a knock-up.
