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 Lulu
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Dodge her two bolts
Dodge Glitterlance (Q): two bolts fly out, one from Lulu and one from Pix, and each one damages and heavily slows.
- Engage twice
Engage in two steps: make her use Whimsy (W), then re-engage during its 18-second cooldown.
- Focus her if you can reach her
If you can reach her, focus her in teamfights: Whimsy (W), Help, Pix! (E) and Wild Growth (R) are mostly there to protect her allies.
- Back off from her enlarged ally
When Wild Growth (R) enlarges one of her allies near you, back off: anyone close to them is knocked into the air, then the aura slows them.
