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 Twitch
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Get out of his cloud fast
Get out of the Venom Cask (W) cloud fast: it slows you and adds a Deadly Venom stack every second, which powers up his Contaminate (E).
- Ward against his ambush
Ward your brushes and place a Control Ward on his paths: it reveals camouflaged enemies, and Ambush (Q) lets him reach you unseen.
- Focus him as soon as he appears
As soon as he comes out of the Ambush (Q) camouflage, focus him with your allies: he's fragile and has no dash to escape.
- Leave his range during his ult
During Spray and Pray (R), get out of his extended range until the effect ends: his bolts pierce every enemy, so hiding behind an ally won't protect you.
