Illumination (P)

Lux's damaging spells charge the target with energy for a few seconds. Lux's next attack ignites the energy, dealing bonus magic damage (depending on Lux's level) to the target.

Playing as Miss Fortune

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Double Up off a dying minion

    Fire Double Up (Q) at a dying minion in front of a champion: if the shot kills the minion, the bounce onto the champion always crits.

  2. Switch targets

    Switch targets often: Love Tap (passive) adds damage on each new target, and lowers the cooldown of Strut (W).

  3. Position with Strut

    Activate Strut (W) to get in position before Bullet Time (R): you instantly gain its max move speed bonus, plus attack speed.

  4. R into clumped enemies

    Cast Bullet Time (R) on enemies who are CC'd or bunched up in a chokepoint: it's a channeled cone, and each wave can crit.

Playing against Lux

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Keep two minions between you and her

    Stay behind at least two minions: Light Binding (Q) roots the first two enemies hit, so a single minion doesn't protect you.

  2. Step up when she misses Q

    Step up when Light Binding (Q) misses you: it's her only root, with a 10-second cooldown, and she has no dash to escape.

  3. Get out of her singularity fast

    Step out to the side as soon as Lucent Singularity (E) lands: the zone slows you, then explodes when it expires or when Lux detonates it.

  4. Don't run in a straight line

    At low health, change direction as you back off: Final Spark (R) is a straight beam that reaches very far and fires after a charge-up.
