Lux Build Guide by lemonpepsiking

Great guide, upvoted love the amount of information provided

Good Guide, nice Austin Powers quote :D

Looks decent, but I have a few recommendations.

- Take other Glyphs, I recommend AP/lvl
- Make good use of columns, it will improve your guide visually :)

For the rest you could add a list of Champions you encounter in laning phase but that is pretty much everything I guess ^^

+1

Very nice start!

Really good first guide =D. I would go over in more detail what to do during laning phase and in teamfights, but otherwise solid guide.

I never maxed her barrier second, may just have to try that with deathfire grasp.

Also, great name for the guide =D. Well done. +1

First off, seeing a Lux guide I would like to comment :).

-Death fire and Morelleo's Tome are just horrid items. Well at least the tome is. With deathfire you will never be that close to a champion with lux. If you are your doing it wrong. The tome is just bad. You will have Blue for the most of the time. It's not a great item for that reason.

-The scepter is not use on Lux. You will be way to far away for that to be effective. The slow is the main reason for the scepter. So yeah.

-WotA is not good on lux. You should not get it at all. You will be to far away for it to work at all.

+1 good guide

quite nicely coded. informative but concise at the same time. think you could use more situational items and mid matchups. i would recommend you to turn on require comment to vote.

keep up the good work!

Ok I disagree with this and I have commented on your guide about this too Arcana3. If you have Lich Bane then you are in range of her auto attacks in order for you to take advantage of it. Therefore you are in Deathfire's Grasp range so you can use it. Morello's Evil Tome is great on Lux because while in ranked games you might have blue the majority of the time, the truth of the matter is in normal games or even some draft games you will not always have it and will have to depend on items for your mana regen and CDR.

Rylai's Crystal Scepter is the same thing if your are close enough for auto-attacking than you are clsoe enough for its slow.

Will of the Ancients is not a item I would use on Lux either.

My turn to comment on your guide. FIRST OFF TURN ON COMMENT TO VOTE!!! I cannot stress that enough.


- Overall the guide is nicely coded and is laid out rather nicely. There are some sections where maybe you could give a bulleted list or two very short paragraphs to break of the long sections of text.

- For you build YOU DO NOT NEED BOTH Deathfire Grasp and Morello's Evil Tome. IMO Deathfire Grasp should only be used if you are facing a tankier team so you can use the active. Otherwise you should replace it with a Rod of Ages or Archangel's Staff or skip straight to Morello's Evil Tome and continue with your build and then get a Zhonya's Hourglass at the end to replace Deathfire Grasp.

- The reason for this is that without DFG you will have a 24% CDR. That is still pretty good. Therefore you should get the other 15% from Blue Buff when you are able to get it especially late game.

- If you do not agree with this then you should at least make a section describing what you get when you have both Deathfire Grasp and Morello's Evil Tome and then what stats you have when you one of the two. Also give situational cases for both items for people who want to use your build but switch it up a bit.

- Definitely expand on your champions list I know there are more coming but make sure to give good detail on all of them.

- Expand your teamwork section.

- If you are using your build then getting Greater Glyph of Cooldown Reduction is useless. You have 39% CDR with your two CDR items and your masteries. Since you have Greater Quintessences of Fortitude and not extra AP runes than the glyphs should be replaced with Greater Glyph of Scaling Ability Power.

Like I said this is a great first guide and I have seen that you read Jhoijhoi's Guide to Making a Guide which is great. So +1 for efforts so far and I hope you take my thoughts into consideration.

This is a great and short enough guide, which lazy people like me actually can read without getting bored. Regardless of the shortness, it's still very informative though it lacks a deeper explanation on some things, but I think shorter is better as long as all the important stuff is there. :)
I like how you max out shield second, which I was watching for a long time, but then I thought why not. I'll definitely do that the next time I play Lux (since my stuns rarely hit anyone ;D).

What I disagree about this guide is the Deathfire Grasp and Morello's Evil Tome. I like both items, but I definitely don't like getting Deathfire so early, before you have rarely any HP. I'd build Rabadon's Deathcap as a first item, then go for Lich Bane, then either Deathfire or Morello, not both.
You mention Archangel's Staff in your possible items, but imo it's not a good item on Lux for the sole reason that she can't spam her skills to ever maximise the effect on AA or Tear of Goddess. She requires a lot of CDR to be able to spam so hard to get the stacks.

I don't like Rylai's Crystal Scepter on Lux though I understand why you like to get it. But Lux has a very high range and a skilled player can stay positioned so that they will not need survivability as much as others would. And even if you are positioned wrong and/or getting focused, a Banshee's Veil would be a good item. Yeah you would miss that 80 AP, but it's still better than Rylais.

So apart from the things I disagree I like this guide a lot. :) It's really nice you invest the remaining 9 points into Defense tree instead of Utility. And maxing out shield second for utility bonus is a really good idea as well. Definitely +1.
Good luck with this guide!
