Passive, spells and ultimate

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 Soraka

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Star first, heal second

    Hit a champion with Starcall (Q) before Astral Infusion (W): Rejuvenation heals you, lowers the heal's health cost and passes to the healed ally.

  2. Run to your wounded allies

    Get to your wounded allies quickly: Salvation (passive) makes you run faster toward them.

  3. Equinox on a channel

    Place Equinox (E) under an enemy who is channeling: the zone silences them, then roots champions still inside at the end.

  4. Save an ally anywhere

    Save Wish (R) to rescue an ally anywhere on the map: the heal is stronger on allies below 40% health.

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.
