Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 trades due to Lux's superior range and poke with Q-E combo while you lack gap closers.
- Post-6 you win all-ins if you can dodge her Q with your E resets, as your burst combo outdamages her full rotation.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is waiting for Lux to waste Q, then E-W-Q for short trades and immediately E to a minion to disengage.
- Extended trades favor you only if you can stick to her, so look for E resets on low minions to chase.
Wave Control
- You want to keep the wave in the center or slightly pushing toward her to create E reset opportunities on minions while staying in XP range.
- Avoid hard shoving as it leaves you vulnerable to her Q-E poke when walking up to CS.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never E directly onto Lux when her Q is available, as getting rooted means taking her full combo and losing the trade heavily.
- Don't greed for CS when the wave is frozen on her side, as you'll take too much poke walking into her range.
