Well I was waiting for some updates to this guide. But I have yet to see any : /. Its been like a month, and I was going to downvote this guide when I first saw the 3 items that SHOULDN'T be on Lux. But yeah there still there. Thats not the only reason im downvoting though, and I hope this critism can help improve your guide.
- First off you have Greater Glyph of Focus, but you should have Greater Glyph of Force... The Glyph of Forces is MUCH better then Focus any day.
- You build The Evil Tome, And DFG before death cap... DFG Is just bad on Lux, and you then get the evil tome after... You shouldn't do that : /. This early, you don't need that insane amount of CDR. You could have Morello's, and then death cap. But not both DFG and Morellos
- You get Rylia's... And you state that you get it because of life issues... Well uh, as lux you shouldn't be that close in the first place : /. The whole reason of Lux is not to have Life and get as much damage as you can. You should be always behind your tank and off tanks. So life shouldn't be there.
- A good amount of your explanation on the items are wrong. RoA Is one of the few items that can not be viable. But can still be viable. Many have stated why i Even state why. Look at other guides and understand why. Same with Archangels and Rylia's.
- Clarity is the mark of a bad player... Tbh. Really that should not be another good summoner spell :/. Its ****py. Many have stated why its not good at all : /
- You don't add any other Masteries or Runes you could use...
- Your con's are wrong. She has escape with her Q. Her Q binds to people... Also your con's are really genaric. If anyone blows there skills to fast, they become useless unless your the AD carry
- You have alot of short explanations, and I wish you would make them longer.

For your first guide, I wasn't willing to downvote hoping you would update it with more info. But you haven't : /. Go look at other guides Koksei and Icecreamy have alot of good info you can add to your guide. I hope this can make your guide better

Nice guide with opponents information. I tried it and had a good result. Focusing on cooldown reduction is good idea and i works well. But i prefer clarity (it gives me more early kills then ignite) and i choose Zhonya's Hourglass and Void Staff as last item.

mhm.. seing all this people ignore the fact that you got rylais in your main build makes me really sad :P

Lux doesn't really benefit from it.

Q - lasts 2 seconds, slow duration lasts two seconds as well.
W - no effect
E - already is a slow
so the only "viable" skill for rylais is her ult.
Better change it for RoA or sth else :P

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.


To start off with I am going to say two things; I'm going to combine my opinion of your guide with my comments on the above quote. With that being said, I have to say that I start my Lux build quite a bit different than a lot of people, but my build is tailored for my play style. So I am not going to do a compare and down vote simply because your's is different than mine. Congratulations though because if I had no experience with Lux, I would say this is a decent place to get an idea of what to build for her. Without a doubt you show case some of the more interesting AP item choices in it.

With that being said, BlackIceT's reply fits quite well. Morello's Evil Tome is a brilliant item to use with Lux. In a lot of instances you are going to play with people who aren't interested in letting you utilize blue buff. Due to that reason, this is a wonderful item. However, if you are with a team who will let you have blue, feel free to take advantage of it and save your gold for something else.

It seems like many people like Lich Bane. I have certainly used it before in games but I feel it is more of a situational item. If you are facing a team who can get up close to you really quick, take Lich Bane and use some guerrilla warfare tactics to defend yourself. Otherwise, you should be out of the other teams range to auto attack and take advantage of it.

As far as Rylai's Crystal Scepter or Rod of Ages, it is always nice to have a bit of health. Some people prefer to rush a Rod of Ages and use it for its mana and level up passive. If you're comfortable enough without any health type items, than feel free to buy an entirely different item. There have been games where no one can get close to me so I skip over it. I have no opinion either way to be honest.

Another thing to note is that you rush Deathfire Grasp quickly according to you purchase order. The problem is there are other items that are more important for Lux, especially at that point in the game. Also, you aren't getting the full benefit of Kage's Luck Pick with the 5 gold.

Both BlackIceT and Arcana3 have it right that Will of the Ancients shouldn't even be considered for Lux.

Your runes aren't the greatest either. Your glyph's are a waste, especially since you have both Morello's and Deathfire Grasp. The max is you can have in game is 40%. Perhaps AP by lvl glyph's?

Congratulations to a decent start however. While there are a few comments in fighting certain champions that I disagree with, I can agree with the majority of it.

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!
