Who Wins

Pre-6, Jinx + Lux have the stronger lane — Lux's root range exceeds your poke range meaningfully and Jinx's W slow chains into Lux's combo, making extended trades dangerous for you.
Post-6, your R provides global pressure and your soul stacking gives you scaling sustain and range, but the 2v2 remains even at best unless you've built a significant soul lead.

Your best trading pattern is to poke with auto-attacks from max range to proc your passive, use W to slow and set up your own Q root, then disengage — you are not a sustained fighter and should never commit to a full trade without a clear CC chain landing first.

You should generally slow-push or maintain a small wave advantage to force Jinx to walk up and last-hit, creating windows where Lux is out of position to peel — collecting souls off minions is a priority so do not spam abilities recklessly and waste soul-generating minion deaths.
Avoid letting the wave crash hard into your tower repeatedly, as Lux can root you under tower and Jinx can dive with her R at later levels.

Do not use your W offensively into a healthy Lux + Jinx without a clear follow-up from Smolder — a missed or blocked W means you have no CC and no escape tool, and Lux will immediately punish with a root into full combo.
