Champion Build Guide

1.1) if your nexus is in the bottom-left corner, help the jungler (together with the ADC) and than go to the botlane through RED2, choosing the path nearer to the turret
1.2) if your nexus is in the top-right corner, help him and choose either RED1, or GREEN5, depending on the enemy support. If the enemy support has root or stun, I recommend choosing GREEN5, if they do not have, I recommend RED1
2.1) DO NOT invade if the enemy support has a root or stun.
If your nexus is in the bottom-left corner invade carefully through GREEN6. Ready your Q for enemy champions that you can root (you that your team kills them) if possible. than go to the botlane through RED1
2.2) DO NOT invade if the enemy support has a root or stun.
If your nexus is in the top-right corner wait all invaders (carefully if enemies also invade) at GREEN8, than place Q at GREEN9 in case that there is someone, who watches (the


3.1) if your nexus is in the bottom-left corner, ward red buff carefully (watch for invaders), than go in GREEN4 bush, place Q in GREEN3 bush (the


3.1) if your nexus is in the top-right corner, ward blue buff carefully (watch for invaders), than go in GREEN3 bush, place Q in GREEN4 bush (the


1) Use the bushes to hide yourself and place spells (Q,E) at the enemies to poke them while your ADC farms.
2) W`s usage is a bit complicated: When using athene`s unholy grail try ho shield your ADC two times. if you are lucky enough, you may heal them twice if the enemies are unlucky and break your initial shield. On the way back if you shield the ADC they will get healed again. (if you have stacks, of course). You may use the shield (W) to heal even if there are no enemies nearby.
3) Try to basic attack the enemies after hitting them with spells, as far as lux uses a lot of her mana in early game and using it efficiently is crucial. One very good combination is Q-basic-E-basic. Q roots and you do the other part white enemy is rooted. ( Use W directed to your ADC if the catched enemy/enemies is/are long-ranged and can outrange you.
4) You have very low HP. Try not to get hit, even if you risk to miss your passive
1)Drake and Baron/Herald must be ALWAYS warded. When your


2)Try not to take damage. You are not tank and almost every champion can kill you in 2-3 seconds if you are not careful.
3)Spam Q Your Q must be always on cooldown, it is the most essential spell for Lux, use it as often as possible.
4) Vision with E When the enemies are trying to kill Drake/Baron/Herald and are using


1)If you have

2) Spam as many abilities on enemy champions and minions as possible. The support shall not farm minions, but getting an inhibitor destroyed is far more important than 3-4 minions for your teammates.
3)Protect yourself! You are not a 10K HP Cho`Gath. Almost every champion can take you down in 1-1.5 seconds. If your team leaves the lane you are pushing, there is no need to be the hero. You will definitely become a dead non-hero.
For new Lux players:
1)Q-basic
2)Q-basic-E-basic
3)Q-ER casted quickly together(E`s second cast together with R`s hitting)-basic (can add one more basic after Q if the enemy is near and there is no danger of the enemy escaping from the ER)
For experienced Lux players
4)Q-E(first cast)-basic-E(second cast)-basic. Similar to 2) , but shortens a bit the combo time.
5) Q-ER casted together-basic (can add one more basic after Q if the enemy is near and there is no danger of the enemy escaping from the ER)
The difference from 3) is that E`s second cast is not together with R`s hitting, so that you get 2 strikes. Useful when caught enemy uses zhonia`s hourglass. They will dodge R that way, but if you are careful you can hit them with E. Useful as well when you are using the

6)E-Q-basic The goal of the E is to slow/change the direction of the running enemy so that you can catch them easier with Q
7) Not a combo, but only R may secure a kill for your team. Hard to place, but is worth the try.


2) Never go alone in jungle. Even if all enemies are dead a Lux will find a proper way to die and grant them at least 3 takedowns.
3) Do not waste your summoner spells. When you are surrounded by all 5 enemies there is no need to lengthen with 0.3 seconds the struggle. The enemies may get more assists and you will lose a very important spell with very large cooldown.
