Introduction

Hi everyone, I'm Cazziel, and this is my Lux support Support guide. Lux is my favorite champion, and she's super fun and useful, both as a midlaner and as a support.
Without further ado, I present to you, my Lux support guide. Thank you for taking the time to read this guide.

Pros / Cons

Pros


+ Ranged Champion
+ Good Crowd Control with Light Binding
+ High in damage
+ Amazing slow and burst with Lucent Singularity
+ Good Shielding
+ Long range ult

Lux has a great kit with multiple useful spells, which contributes with both damage, CC and shielding. She's a great champion and very easy to learn. Her passive scales amazingly and is great for easy poke in lane
Cons


- Squishy
- High cooldowns early game
- A lot of skillshots
- Bad against tanks
- No easy escapes

Lux is a very squishy champion, especially early game so she's an easy target for assasins. Make sure to always have an eye on the minimap and WARD WARD WARD.

Summoner Spells


Flash: Very important - use it to dodge hard CC/escape from an angry mob chasing you

Ignite: For the kill secure ;)

Exhaust: Great for locking down a target/escaping/making sure the enemy Zed (or whoever their carry is) wont explode the entire team.

Abilities


  • Illumination: Lux's damaging spells charge the target with energy for 6 seconds. Lux's next attack ignites the energy, dealing bonus magic damage (depending on Lux's level) to the target.
  • Light Binding (Q): Lux releases a sphere of light that binds and deals damage to up to two enemy units.
  • Prismatic Barrier (W): Lux throws her wand and bends the light around any friendly target it touches, protecting them from enemy damage.
  • Lucent Singularity (E): Fires an anomaly of twisted light to an area, which slows nearby enemies. Lux can detonate it by recasting the spell to damage enemies in the area of effect.
  • Final Spark (R): After gathering energy, Lux fires a beam of light that deals damage to all targets in the area. If Final Spark helps take down a champion, part of its cooldown is refunded. In addition, triggers Lux's passive ability and refreshes the Illumination debuff duration. Enemy champions that die within 1.75 seconds of being hit by Final Spark refund 30/40/50% of its cooldown.

Here's a video that shows very simple Lux combos:

Laning

In laning Lux is a poke-heavy support. Make sure you always harrass the enemy adc when he tries to farm, to deny him as much cs as possible. When your jungler shows up, make sure you always have Light Binding up so you can CC the enemy!

Once you have your Eye of the Watchers fully stacked, make sure to buy a Oracle Lens so you can remove enemy wards.
Also, make sure to have atleast one Control Ward in your inventory all the time, until you get full build - trust me, these are important.

When you hit level 6 and get that sweet, sweet Final Spark, you can look for roam potential unless you and your adc are behind. If you are sure your adc can farm 1v2, then try to go with your jungler and get some free kills or objectives. This will benefit your team a lot.

Also, warding is important! Here's the best places to put wards in laning phase:

Teamfighting - what to do?

In teamfights Lux should stay in the backline, preferably close to the adc, and use Light Binding to CC enemy champions, focusing the high damage carries. Then she should throw out Prismatic Barrier trying to hit as many teammates as possible.
If you have kill-potential, the best combo you can do is Light Binding -> Lucent Singularity -> Final Spark. Before your Final Spark goes off, detonate the Lucent Singularity to ensure maximum damage.

In the beginning of a fight, or to chase down the last survivor, use Twin Shadows to get a nice slow onto the enemy/enemies, as it can slow up to 2 people for up to 5 seconds!

If you have exhaust, focus the assasins and the enemy adc and exhaust them to reduce their damage and maybe even secure a kill for your team!

If you die as Lux in a teamfight, you can still help by using if its up, keep an extra eye on the map, incase any dangers show up.

Here's a video as an example:

Summary

Lux is an extremely fun champion to play, and has a lot of potential. She can be played by almost anyone, and it's hard not to get addicted!
