Introduction

Hey! Welcome to my very first Lux guide! My name is Dino and I love playing Lux as a champion. I have been playing her since season 3 when I first joined.

Now, If you're interested in picking up Lux, feel free to read the guide. Remember to give it a ♡ thumbs up ♡, if you like it. Also, don't think that if you just read this guide, you will get be legendary all the time, nope. So let's get a move on!
Pros&Cons

Pros



+ Good CC
+ Good AOE
+ Good Poke
+ Long-Ranged
+ Final Spark short CD
Cons



- Squishy
- No escape
- Mana-Thirsty
- Long Cooldowns
- Need to land binding to burst


Abilities

Illumination [Passive]
Lux's offensive abilities mark all affected enemies with light energy for 6 seconds. Her basic attacks and Final Spark. Final Spark consume the mark.

Range: 550
Scaling: 20% AP
Duration: 6 seconds
Damage: 18 - 190 (based on level)


Tips

Amazing passive for farming/poking.

Always try to proc Illumination safely.

Things to take note of


Illumination is triggered by on-hit attacks or Final Spark only.

Do not get baited just because you need to proc Illumination. Only do so if you 100% won't take damage.



Light Binding [Active]
Lux releases a sphere of light in a line that deals magic damage to the first two enemies hit and roots them for 2 seconds.

Range: 1000
Scaling: 70% AP
Costs: 50 / 55 / 60 / 65 / 70 Mana
Cooldown: 15 / 14 / 13 / 12 / 11
Damage: 50 / 100 / 150 / 200 / 250


Tips

What makes Light Binding special is that you can snare two people at once. Neat huh? So take advantage of enemies who are hiding behind minions!

Ensure this skill lands or your combo will 99% of the time fail.

Use Light Binding in a bush to hit unsuspecting enemies accurately.

Things to take note of

If you miss Light Binding, back off immediately. Because this is when you are at your most vulnerable.

You have two seconds to unleash your burst on a rooted enemy.

It is a projectile.

Enemies can still use their spells while snared.



Prismatic Barrier [Active] [Shield]
Lux shields herself and throws out her wand in a line, shielding allied champions in its path for 3 seconds. Lux's wand then returns to her, stacking the shield to all allied champions it passes through and herself.

Range: 1000
Total Shield Amount: 100 / 130 / 160 / 190 / 220
Scaling: 20% AP
Costs: 60 Mana
Cooldown: 14 / 13 / 12 / 11 / 10


Tips

Throw out your Prismatic Barrier on your allies during a teamfight.

Throw it out when trying to proc Illumination while poking if you think you are going to get damaged.

Walk towards the direction of your Prismatic Barrier to have 2 shields faster.

Things to take note of

Use it whenever you can to avoid taking damage.

Prismatic Barrier stacks now.

It is similar to Sivir's Boomerang Blade.

It is a projectile.



Lucent Singularity [Active] [AOE]
Lux sends an anomaly of twisted light to the target area, slowing nearby enemies and granting sight of the area around it for up to 5 seconds.

At the end of the duration or if Lucent Singularity is activated again, the singularity detonates, dealing magic damage to all enemies in the area.


Range: 350-1110
Scaling: 60% AP
Costs: 70 / 85 / 100 / 115 / 130 Mana
Cooldown: 10
Damage/Slow: 60 / 105 / 150 / 195 / 240 ~ 20 / 24 / 28 / 32 / 36%


Tips

Scout bushes with Lucent Singularity.

Take advantage of it's huge range to poke/scout.

Since this skill has a slow, you can prevent an enemy from escaping easily by not detonating it until he/she is about to leave the area or try to land your binding while your enemy is slowed.

If you are running away, do not detonate it. Simply just leave it behind you and enemies chasing will be slowed.

Things to take note of

Good at keeping enemies zoned off.

Use Lucent Singularity to poke only when it's level 2. Level 1 Lucent Singularity isn't that mighty.

To poke, you might wanna Lucent Singularity(do not detonate yet) and then auto attack. While your auto attack is flying through the air mid-way, detonate your Lucent Singularity to proc Illumination.

It is a projectile.



Final Spark [Active] [Ultimate]
After gathering energy for 0.5 seconds, Lux fires a giant laser in a line that deals magic damage to all enemies hit and briefly reveals them and the surrounding area.

Range: 3000
Damage: 300 / 400 / 500
Scaling: 70% AP
Costs: 100 Mana
Cooldown: 80 / 65 / 50


Tips

Short cool-down, use it on minions if you want to.

By casting Final Spark on where the enemy is heading, you have a higher chance of hitting your target.

Always end your combo with Final Spark to refund it's CD.


Things to take note of

It relights Illumination.

She cannot cast any other abilities or actives while channeling Final Spark.

It is not a projectile.

How to play lux

Laning Phase



Warding
"X" are the areas where you should ward to avoid getting ganked. Warding can help save a life!

Auto-attack will represent AA
Illumination means to AA proc it.

Difficulty Meter!
= Real Easy
= Might Take Awhile

Light Binding > Illumination > Lucent Singularity > Illumination

Combo difficulty:

This deals a decent amount of damage during laning phase.
POST-6, do not do this unless you are very sure that the enemy won't burst the heck out of you after the snare duration is over.

Full Combo (Post-6 to late game)


This might look confusing at first so now, so patience people, patience!

Light Binding > Lucent Singularity (don't explode it yet) > Final Spark > Lucent Singularity (explode!)

Combo difficulty:

Smart-casting makes this combo easier to execute.
Make sure Light Binding hits first before going 100-0.
If you can't get it right away, relax. It will come naturally with more practice.
Remember to explode Final Spark and Lucent Singularity at the same time.


Once you land this combo, sit back and enjoy

Team fights

So... it's mid-game to late-game now and you're wondering...
What should I do as Lux during a team fight?

Well, you should be the one landing your Light Binding on someone so that your whole team can engage! Only do this if you have no other choice.

No.
