If you get hit by her CC, you're dead. Her weak spot is she can't help her ADC like you can. Just put pressure on them as much as possible.
Ashe
You should never be in Ashe's range. She will punish you because her slows + your zero mobility basically mean death trap.
Bard
People play this champ?
Blitzcrank
Do not get hit by his Q at all. You get one shot as soon as you get in range of him.
Brand
Brand has stupid damage that is slightly above yours, but as long as you dodge his abilities (which are easy), you win.
Braum
He is tanky and can protect his ADC incredibly.
Galio
Tanky + magic shield, and knock-ups + taunts. Play as safe as possible.
Heimerdinger
Stay out of range of his turrets and you should be good. Just beware of his damage.
Janna
Any enchanter is no threat to Lux, but with Janna beware of her knock-up. Otherwise, you're fine.
Karma
Her W roots are extremely scary for you, but you should never be in that range anyway. She will be fighting for bush control and poke, but you have more early pressure than her.
Leona
As soon as you even come close to Leona, you're dead. She will punish you for every little thing. Build defensive, only poke and basically farm under tower and you MAY have a chance.
Lulu
If Lulu has an all-in ADC after 6, (Kai'Sa, Yasuo, etc.) then you will probably lose. You're too squishy if they go for you, and they will bait your Q/W before they go in. Just save your abilities for playing defensively.
Milio
Milio has no pressure on you at all, and you can easily burn his shield and heal. The biggest threat is his Q when he wants to knock you out of a bush, and his R cleansing your Q.
Morgana
If Morgana lands a Q on you, you are pretty much dead, but her Q is fairly easy to dodge. Just watch out for her shield and you're good.
Nami
Nami's sustain is really good and she has better utility in team fights. Her CC punishes insanely well and with being able to buff her ADC, you will die in 2 seconds.
Nautilus
Nautilus Q+R = death.
Neeko
After recent nerfs, Neeko has a weaker early game. You should be able to beat them laning phase, but after level 6 watch out for her R.
Orianna
She slows/gives MS, has good CC, does damage, and can give a shield. You will barely play this matchup ever, if at all but be careful if you do.
Pantheon
Can poke you, has insane CC and literally will kill you before you can blink.
Poppy
Can easily get you off of her whole team, and is fairly tanky. If she singles you out you're probably dead.
Pyke
If he is able to hit a hook on you, you're dead. Make sure he is in vision, and if he goes into his W you back up instantly.
Rakan
You can cancel his all-in (W and R) with your Q but if it's on cooldown and he hits you, you are probably dead.
Rell
Amazing CC, mobility, and she's tanky. (RIOT PLEASE NERF)
Renata Glasc
Renata doesn't have enough range to put pressure on you.
Senna
Her damage and range is stupid, and she has a root. Trying to play against this champ early is impossible.
Seraphine
On top of dumb CC, she has really good damage. You probably don't win until later, or unless you're a god at dodging her E and R.
Shen
If you get taunted, you're probably dead but he isn't a big threat. Pressure his ADC and you're good.
Sona
Sona is barely a champ early game. Until she scales, you always win.
Soraka
Her silence/root can be scary but is easy to dodge. First back always buy Oblivion Orb and you win.
Swain
His CC is scary but you will normally never be in range of any of his abilities.
Tahm Kench
His CC is dumb and he has a surprising amount of damage. If you get knocked up, you're dead. He can also save his ADC from your one shot combo.
Taric
You should never be in range of his CC. Only thing to watch out for is his tankiness.
Thresh
If the Thresh player is good, you will not win. If he manages to hook + R you, you're dead. You have absolutely no sustain against Thresh.
Veigar
His ability range enables lots of pressure he can apply to you, and he can easily execute you because of how squishy you are.
Vel'Koz
Stupid damage for a "support" and lots of zoning/ranged abilities. He has lots of pressure and will melt you with his damage.
Xerath
Long ranged abilities and high damage plus a stun. He hurts and will pressure you.
Yuumi
Yuumi is basically a champ that uses her ADC as a meat shield while she has a "shield" that is supposed to protect them. With you high damage, you instantly kill the ADC and Yuumi can't do anything about it.
Zilean
CC and damage, also can save ADC from death. Just try to bait his R out and dodge his other abilities.
Zyra
She has really good poke and CC. You probably will have to play defensive on her unless she's bad. Her damage is too high for you to do anything.
Aphelios
Lux is good at covering up Aphelios' bad early game, and late game they really shine together. Just make sure Aphelios knows what he's doing. :)
Ashe
Amazing CC that just scales through the late game. Enemy team won't be able to move.
Caitlyn
Lux is basically Caitlyn's best friend besides Morgana/Neeko when it comes to synergy.
Draven
You're good at protecting Draven in every spot. As long as you help him snowball, you will win.
Ezreal
This duo was basically made for each other. :) You guys have a great (and annoying) early game with amazing poke/burst damage. They can't even breathe around you.
Jhin
My favourite ADC to play Lux support with. Double Dark Harvest is incredibly fun (Jhin doesn't HAVE to go Dark Harvest) and the follow on on your root + the insane distance ultimates are really fun to play with!
Jinx
There's better duos that can do what Jinx does but you can still be strong when ahead.
Kai'Sa
Kai'Sa is just broken right now so go crazy.
Kalista
NO. Lux is one of the squishiest champs ever and if Kalista R's you, YOU ARE DEAD. You can help cover up how weak she is but you guys don't work together at all.
Kog'Maw
Basically this duo is just poking and roaming while leaving Kog'Maw to farm so he hypercarries.
Nilah
Hit a Q, all-in, and they're dead. Very good scaling. :)
Samira
You don't really give Samira anything she wants besides one form of CC.
Senna
Insane poke damage with good scaling. Not much goes wrong unless you fall behind early.
Seraphine
Double QUEEN duo. As long as they don't build MR you guys absolutely destroy with the insane CC.
Sivir
Sivir is not strong at all, until late game where still, she isn't all that good. Most Sivir players cannot follow up. Just poke/roam and let her do her thing.
Tristana
Tristana is good at following up on your burst/CC with her W. You Q+E and Tristana jumps on them and they die. Just play safe early and eventually you go right through them.
Varus
The range in this duo is insane. You guys have the best poke possible.
Vayne
Vayne is in a pretty weird spot, especially if you don't have an engage support. You don't offer Vayne much besides good roaming.
Veigar
You can easily zone them into Veigar's abilities, and you both one shot late game. Good scaling.
Xayah
You are good at making up for Xayah's zero mobility, and can help keep her safe while she scales because her early game isn't the greatest.
Zeri
Zeri is super weak right now after Trinity nerfs and cannot follow up on your abilities at all because she has no damage.
Synergies
IdealStrongOkLowNone
Aphelios
Lux is good at covering up Aphelios' bad early game, and late game they really shine together. Just make sure Aphelios knows what he's doing. :)

In my opinion, Lux isn't recognized enough for her insane carry potential, even as support. In low elo, Lux is basically freelo, and that's a big reason why I love her, besides her fun (and maybe annoying) ability to one shot everyone. Lux, besides her no mobility and squishiness has anything you could want, and her amazing ability to do anything makes up for her weaknesses.
Pros and Cons!
Lux can be a flexible champion, but she does have some weaknesses.
Cons:
Loses hard to engage champions
Very squishy and easy to kill due to zero mobility
She is entirely skillshot based and her abilities can be easy to dodge
Mana hungry
Long early cooldowns
Has some fairly easy counterplay
But despite that, she has pros!
Pros:
Very easy to learn, one of the most beginner friendly champions
Lots of utility and can be flexible in builds
Amazing at keeping distance
Good teamfighting
Is able to shield her WHOLE team
Can be supportive, or an APC and do a bunch of damage
Her abilities (E and R) give vision
Lux's Abilities!
Illumination(P):
Lux's damaging abilities mark enemies for 6 seconds. Lux's attacks consume the mark, dealing 20 − 190 (+20% of ability power) (depending on level) magic damage.
Final Spark
will consume marks on enemies it hits and refresh them.
Light Binding(Q):
Lux releases a sphere of light that immobilizes and deals 80 / 120 / 160 / 200 / 240 (+60% of ability power) magic damage to up to two enemy units for 2 seconds.
Prismatic Barrier(W):
Lux throws her wand to a target location, bending the light around herself and any friendly champion it touches by granting a 45 / 65 / 85 / 105 / 125 (+35% of ability power) damage shield for 2.5 seconds. After reaching maximum range, the wand returns to Lux, shielding herself and any friendly champion it touches for the same amount again. The second shield stacks with the first shield while also refreshing the shield duration.
Lucent Singularity(E):
Lux creates a light zone that slows by 25 / 30 / 35 / 40 / 45% and reveals the area. After 5 seconds or on recasting this ability, it detonates, dealing 70 / 120 / 170 / 220 / 270 (+70% of ability power) magic damage and slowing for an additional 1 second.
Final Spark(R):
After gathering energy for a half second, Lux fires a beam of light that deals 300 / 400 / 500 (+100% of ability power) damage to all targets in the area and reveals it. It ignites and refreshes Lux's Illumination
debuff if it hits enemies already afflicted.
Lux can Flash
while casting Final Spark
though her ultimate won't follow her when she flashes.
Lux Alternatives?
The thing is, a lot of people hate Lux because she's an annoying champ, whether it's mid or support. She will get banned a lot. Thankfully, Lux is a pretty base level champion and there is many alternatvies that can do what she does and all of them are fun on the same level as her!
In the future I will be making guides to these champions such as:
Morgana
Neeko
Zyra
Seraphine
and way more that you can see guides on like
Xerath
Vel'Koz
About Me!
I am a BRONZE support main. Lux was my first ever M7 and was actually the champ that I played to learn the game. I've been playing the game for roughly 6-7 months as of July 31, 2023.
Please Read!
Keep in mind, I am a LOW ELO player. This is what has worked for me personally, and it's different than what you'd think. I like being creative with builds. You can ask questions and give advice but please do not police my guide! Thank you. <3
I'm always looking for somebody to play with.
I love duo queuing with people, and I'm a pretty flexible player so I can play just about anyone.
