Kayn
He can dotch all your attacks with his dash and wall travel, so if you dont root him with your (W), its bye bye for you.
Jhin
If you play this duo well, you can get really strong really fast. Because of jhin having a guaranteed crit at his 4th shot, you can root the enemy and make it easier forjhin to land his pokes.

Champion Build Guide
As top i mostly play Ornn, Nasus and Cho'Gath.
On jungle i can play Nunu & Willump, Warwick and Master Yi.
In Mid-lane i am at my best with Veigar, Lux and Azir
When i play AD-Carry my picks are Jhin, Draven or Miss Fortune
And as support i play Lux, Zilean or Neeko
Currently, combined with still playing Lux (because it is fun as hell), i currently started with trying to master Jhin, Draven, Zilean and the one and only Yasuo.

Important notes: I've written this guide in the purpose of learning you how to play Lux, not what runes or items are in general. I explain how lux's abilities work, but not how all the items in this game work. You should have some basic knowledge about the game when reading this guide. When you have any questions that can't be answered, or when you really are new to the game (wich i doubt if you know about Mobafire :P) you can always contact me on my discord above or in the comments.
Often used shortened words:
CDR = Cooldown Reduction
AD = Attack Damage
AP = Ability Power
MS = Movement Speed
Luxxana Crownguard is one of the 2 children from the Crownguard, a family that has only one goal in life ''to guard the royal family''. She had one older brother named Garen. they were born in the town of demacia, an realm where magic was feared. Both Lux and her brother Garen were born with magic abilities, wich were feared in Demacia. Because of this she couldn't develop her powers very well. When she went to school she found out that her powers were very rare. When Lux and Garen grew up, Garen chose to use his abilities to defend the realm of Demacia, as everyone of the Crownguard family should. Lux denied this fate and chose to go her own way, away from all the suspicion from her abilities, and to explore the world beyond Demacia's walls. |

Domination is my primary choice for runes on Lux, mainly because were going for high damage here. My way of playing comes to full potential with Domination Runes. Our whole kit synergies the best with the cooldown reduction and extra damage mechanics from the Domination kit. This kit works the best with Sorcery as second path. |
|
This is the second best rune page for Lux. This page isn't focused as much on damage, but more on resource manipulation (CDR, MANA, MS). This works best with Domination as second page. |

Remant of the watchers will be your first item. When you start of with Spellthief's Edge you will get a little bit of gold on enemy hit, wich you will need as support. When upgrading to Frostfang this increases. Remnant of the Watchers gives you a little bit AP and CDR, wich you will need as a startup as Lux. |
|
Luden's Tempest is one of the 2 most important items on Lux. This item gives a boost of AP, and gives a lot of CDR, and that's what were aiming for here. It also gives a splash after some ability's wich is seen as another ability, so you can proc your Dark Harvest with it as well. This item is what you need first after Remnant of the Watchers |
|
As Lux, your early game is very weak. You have almost no damage and low cooldowns. When you think you can have an upperhand in the lane (on easy matchups) you can go with Dark Seal on your first back, and later upgrade it to Mejai's Soulstealer. These items give you more ap based on harvested souls (kills and assists). you could compare it to Dark Harvest, but with a cap of 25 souls, and you a bunch of your souls on death. This item is only for a quick startup, and it is important to sell it for another item when reaching full build. |
Q-E-R-E
This is the most basic combo that exists on Lux. It is very easy to memorize and easy to use in burst and escape situations.
- Start of with launching your Light Binding (Q)
- When you know for sure that your (Q) is going to land, fire up your Lucent Singularity (E), but don't detonate it yet.
- Now fire up your Final Spark (R). When you hit your (Q) you proc your Illumination (passive), so your ult does extra damage. Final Spark also proc's a new Illumination.
- Now reactivate Lucent Singularity (E) to detonate it. Your Illumination (passive) will do extra damage. This is the end of your burst. Get the hell out.
Q-E-R-(AA)-E-(AA)
This is the same combo as above, but with some Auto-Attacks in between to maximize damage output. The Auto-Attacks are quit hard to land in between and will take some practice, but if you can manage to master them, you will be a burst beast that anyone will fear.
- Start of with launching your Light Binding (Q)
- When you know for sure that your (Q) is going to land, fire up your Lucent Singularity (E), but don't detonate it yet.
- Now fire up your Final Spark (R). When you hit your (Q) you proc your Illumination (passive), so your ult does extra damage. Final Spark also proc's a new Illumination.
- Because the passive proc from your ult, this Auto-Attack will do more damage.
- Now reactivate Lucent Singularity (E) to detonate it. This ability also proc's your passive again.
- because your passive is ready for destruction again, fire up another Auto-Attack for that extra last-hit-projectile to finish your enemy.
(Q-E-R-AA-E-AA)~(Q-E-AA-E-AA)
This combo is only possible if you built the full CDR build (so with 40% CDR AND the 15% from Ultimate Hunter) This is the same combo as above, but enlarged, because your Light Binding (Q) will be recharged by the time you land your last Auto-Attack. This combo is the hardest of all, espesially when you're alone against a tank wich could outlive this combo. You should only engage this combo when you are sure you can outlive the target, otherwise bail out after landing the 2nd Light Binding (Q)
- Start of with launching your Light Binding (Q)
- When you know for sure that your (Q) is going to land, fire up your Lucent Singularity (E), but don't detonate it yet.
- Now fire up your Final Spark (R). When you hit your (Q) you proc your Illumination (passive), so your ult does extra damage. Final Spark also proc's a new Illumination.
- Because the passive proc from your ult, this Auto-Attack will do more damage.
- Now reactivate Lucent Singularity (E) to detonate it. This ability also proc's your passive again.
- because your passive is ready for destruction again, fire up another Auto-Attack.
- When the Auto-attack hit, you should be able to fire up the Light Binding (Q) again, wich makes the enemy stuck in position again, and to proc your passive again.
- Same as before, shoot an Lucent Singularity (E), but again, don't detonate.
- Throw another Auto-Attack in there to activate the Illumination (passive)
- Finish of with detonating Lucent Singularity (E) again.
- When still not dead, try to finish of with a last Auto-Attack.
- If still not dead, rethink your life choices and get the hell out.
Elementalist Lux
is not only the most beautifull skin for Lux (in my opinion) but i think it also is the best skin made in this game, ever. But with this kind of beauty also comes a big sacrifice. It is also the most expensive skin (at least until now) in the game. This is the kind of skin that took a year to make, and has 720 voice lines on his own, and all of this in exchange for 3250 riot point, equal to 20 euro's, but believe me, it's worth every single cent that i gave. It works as the following: There's a small meter above you're champion icon in game (you'll see it in the clips). This meter fills up with a percentage of the damage you do against champions. At 100% the meter expands to 4 blocks of choices, in wich you can choose your first form. or cancel the transformation (if you want to stay in light form). Then you can refill the meter for your second form (this can also be canceled). The thing about this meter is that it kind of also gives away if you have an advantage or if you are behind on the rest. I think that you're doing well enough if you reach your first form at lvl 6, and your second at lvl 12. If you have your forms sooner, you know you're doing better than average, and it would probably be a good choice to buy Mejai's Soulstealer. If you get it later, you will need to change your tactics, because they aren't working properly. |
Ignite has been nerfed. The damage is decreased, but the cooldown is decreased as well.
Sylas is added. So yeah, this will be the first time your getting your laser back in your face. :P
Brand and Cassiopeia are both nerfed. Brand's blaze damage is nerfed, and Cassiopeia's late game cooldowns are increased. This will make both matchups a little easier.
And as last, a lot of junglers, like Jarvan IV and Vi are buffed, and Evelynn is nerfed. These changes are too complicated to put in a little box like this.
Q: | Can predator work on lux |
A: | I tried it a little while ago, and when you would take Predator in combination with Boots of Swiftness and Celerity in you second rune path, you definitly have some movement speed. This only works though if you have a high movement speed adc with you in lane (like Miss Fortune or Jhin). Since you miss out on a damage keystone you cant really finish enemies on yourself, so you'll need an adc who can keep up with you. It is, as you thought, really great for chasing fleeing enemies, and it surely is fun, but you really miss a lot of damage, so you wont get Lux on her full potential. Thats why i left it out of the guide. |

AS first i'd like to refer to Wicked Cherry who was not only the first person to comment on the guide, but really helped me point out what i did right, and helped me further with some new chapters. I would lie if i'd say some of my rework wasn't inspired by the Lulu guide of his own, wich is really well made. You can find it here.
As second i'd like to name NDarKnight who inspire me to research a whole new way of playing Lux. When i'm done testing this i will add this to the guide.
As third i'd like to point out the help i got grom Jovy as it really helped me with the design/banners/headers in my guide.
thanks a lot for helping me improve my guide to where it is now.
