Who Wins

  • You lose levels 1-3 due to range disadvantage and should focus on farming safely with Q while avoiding Lux's poke combos.
  • At level 6, you gain significant kill pressure with R if you can land Q-R1 to gap close, but respect her Q disengage potential.

How to Trade

  • Your trading window is when Lux uses abilities on minions - immediately Q forward, proc passive, then Q again if possible before retreating.
  • Use W shroud to avoid her Q-E combo and extend trades where your energy sustain and passive procs give you advantages.

Wave Control

  • Let Lux push early and farm under tower where she can't abuse range as effectively, then look for freeze opportunities post-6.
  • Use W strategically to break her vision and create uncertainty about your positioning for R engages.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste R1 without landing Q first, as you need the slow to guarantee R2 connection for kill combos.
  • Never fight extended trades in open lane without W available, as Lux will kite you with superior range and her Q root.
