Lux's Abilities

Illumination Lux's Passive

Self

Lux's damaging abilities mark enemies for 6 seconds. Lux's attacks consume the mark, dealing 20 − 190 (+20% of ability power) (depending on level) magic damage.

Final Spark will consume marks on enemies it hits and refresh them.

Light Binding Lux's Q Ability

50 / 55 / 60 / 65 / 70

Lux releases a sphere of light that immobilizes and deals 80 / 120 / 160 / 200 / 240 (+60% of ability power) magic damage to up to two enemy units for 2 seconds.

1075

60 / 65 / 70 / 75 / 80

14 / 13 / 12 / 11 / 10

Lux throws her wand to a target location, bending the light around herself and any friendly champion it touches by granting a 45 / 65 / 85 / 105 / 125 (+35% of ability power) damage shield for 2.5 seconds. After reaching maximum range, the wand returns to Lux, shielding herself and any friendly champion it touches for the same amount again. The second shield stacks with the first shield while also refreshing the shield duration.

70 / 80 / 90 / 100 / 110

Final Spark Lux's Ultimate (R) Ability

3340

After gathering energy for a half second, Lux fires a beam of light that deals 300 / 400 / 500 (+100% of ability power) damage to all targets in the area and reveals it. It ignites and refreshes Lux's Illumination debuff if it hits enemies already afflicted.

Lux can Flash while casting Final Spark though her ultimate won't follow her when she flashes.
