This is a guide for serious Lux players, who are in the mid lane. Lux has one of the strongest bursts in the entire game. With smart positioning, adequate farming, and landing skill shots, this is a nearly unbeatable build.

Item selection is THE most important thing in your control when playing Lux. People do not understand how to build her, and it is quite simple. The most essential thing is not falling behind in farm, not dying early, and getting a high amount of AP as fast as possible. I always begin with boots+3 pots. This will give you early harass with skill (Q or E) + auto attack and some survivability from ganks. Lux's level 2 with Q+ E+ Ignite+ Auto attack (passive)is extremely strong! If you feeling you do not have the burst to tear down your opponent, it is essential that you farm. It is not worth harassing your opponent if you are losing farm even if they are losing some farm. Farm until deathcap and your spells with be able to burst down any champ in the game pre 11. Once Lich Bane is received, Lux becomes the most dangerous champion in the game. The trick with Lich Bane is the shield. You Q+ E+ Ult are generally used sequentially which means you only receive 1 LB proc. The W must be used 2 sec after you attack with the first LB proc to deal an additional 300 (or so) damage. If you are not raping by now, you are either heavily countered, over focused, or need to practice your Lux. The rest of the items just proved extra magic damage and carrying ability.
