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 Lucian

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Punish his dash

    Punish him after an aggressive dash: Relentless Pursuit (E) has a 16 to 14 second cooldown, only reduced when his double shots hit.

  2. Step back after each burst

    Back off after each of his spells: Lightslinger (passive) doubles the next auto, so his damage comes in short bursts.

  3. Poke him from outside his range

    If your attack range beats his 500 units, poke him from outside it: he then has to use Relentless Pursuit (E) to get back on you.

  4. Drag the game out

    If you survive the laning phase, play for time: Lucian is strongest early and loses impact once everyone has their items.
