Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to Lux's superior range and burst, but you can survive by using W for sustain and focusing on Q stacks.
- Post-6 you still struggle in direct 1v1s, but your R gives you better all-in potential if you can land it after she wastes Q.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is W-Q when she steps up for CS or abilities, then immediately retreat to avoid her Q-E retaliation.
- Focus on short, efficient trades rather than extended fights since your sustain advantage only matters if you can avoid her burst combos.
Wave Control
- Accept being pushed early and focus on last-hitting under tower while stacking Q safely.
- Once you have some items and stacks, you can start matching her push, but prioritize farming over trading until you reach meaningful power spikes.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't greed for CS when your W is on cooldown, as you have no escape if she lands Q.
- Avoid using R aggressively unless you're certain you can finish her, since missing it leaves you completely vulnerable to her superior range and burst.
