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 Leona

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Respect her level 2

    Back off if she reaches level 2 before you: Zenith Blade (E) then Shield of Daybreak (Q) root you, then stun you.

  2. Trade after her E

    Trade right after Zenith Blade (E): it's her only dash to engage, and it has a 12 to 6 second cooldown.

  3. Don't line up with an ally

    Don't stand in line with an ally when facing her: Zenith Blade (E) damages every enemy in its path and roots the last champion hit.

  4. Save your answer for her engage

    If you have a knockback or a cleanse, save it for her engage: her whole combo relies on Zenith Blade (E) followed by a stun.

  5. Get out of the center of her R

    When Solar Flare (R) lands, get out of the center: it stuns, while the edge only slows.
