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 Yunara

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Slow with Arc of Judgment

    Hit with Arc of Judgment (W) before a trade: the prayer bead slows your target, then damages them every second, and it reaches 1150, well beyond your autos.

  2. Judge your power by your crit items

    Measure your power by your crit items: with Vow of the First Lands (passive), each of your critical strikes deals bonus magic damage.

  3. Use Cultivation of Spirit when charged

    Once your autos have charged Cultivation of Spirit (Q), activate it for a trade or a teamfight: you gain attack speed, and your autos spread to nearby enemies.

  4. Transcend for the teamfight

    Cast Transcend One's Self (R) as the teamfight starts: your basic spells are upgraded, Arc of Ruin (W) fires a laser, and Untouchable Shadow (E) gives you a dash.

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.
