Hey! Welcome to my very first Lux guide! My name is Dino and I love playing Lux as a champion. I have been playing her since season 3 when I first joined.
Now, If you're interested in picking up Lux, feel free to read the guide. Remember to give it a ♡ thumbs up ♡, if you like it. Also, don't think that if you just read this guide, you will get be legendary all the time, nope. So let's get a move on! Pros&Cons
Pros
+ Good CC + Good AOE + Good Poke + Long-Ranged + Final Spark short CD
- Squishy - No escape - Mana-Thirsty - Long Cooldowns - Need to land binding to burst

Tips ✦ What makes Light Binding special is that you can snare two people at once. Neat huh? So take advantage of enemies who are hiding behind minions!
✦ Ensure this skill lands or your combo will 99% of the time fail.
✦ Use Light Binding in a bush to hit unsuspecting enemies accurately.
Things to take note of ✦ If you miss Light Binding, back off immediately. Because this is when you are at your most vulnerable.
✦ You have two seconds to unleash your burst on a rooted enemy.
✦ It is a projectile.
✦ Enemies can still use their spells while snared.
Prismatic Barrier [Active] [Shield] Lux shields herself and throws out her wand in a line, shielding allied champions in its path for 3 seconds. Lux's wand then returns to her, stacking the shield to all allied champions it passes through and herself.

✦ Throw it out when trying to proc Illumination while poking if you think you are going to get damaged.
✦ Walk towards the direction of your Prismatic Barrier to have 2 shields faster.
Things to take note of ✦ Use it whenever you can to avoid taking damage.
Lucent Singularity [Active] [AOE] Lux sends an anomaly of twisted light to the target area, slowing nearby enemies and granting sight of the area around it for up to 5 seconds.
At the end of the duration or if Lucent Singularity is activated again, the singularity detonates, dealing magic damage to all enemies in the area.
✦ Take advantage of it's huge range to poke/scout.
✦ Since this skill has a slow, you can prevent an enemy from escaping easily by not detonating it until he/she is about to leave the area or try to land your binding while your enemy is slowed.
✦ If you are running away, do not detonate it. Simply just leave it behind you and enemies chasing will be slowed.

How to play lux
Laning Phase
Warding ♡ "X" are the areas where you should ward to avoid getting ganked. Warding can help save a life!
♡ This deals a decent amount of damage during laning phase. ♡POST-6, do not do this unless you are very sure that the enemy won't burst the heck out of you after the snare duration is over.
Full Combo (Post-6 to late game)
This might look confusing at first so now, so patience people, patience!
♡Smart-casting makes this combo easier to execute. ♡Make sure Light Binding hits first before going 100-0. ♡ If you can't get it right away, relax. It will come naturally with more practice. ♡Remember to explode Final Spark and Lucent Singularity at the same time.
♡ Her Charm. ♡ She still can Charm while in a Light Binding. ♡ Hide behind minions to protect your self against Charm. ♡ Not too close to minions because of her Orb of Deception. ♡ She is squishy, like you. If you land Light Binding It's checkmate for her.
Annie
Difficulty: ♡♡♡♡
Things to take note of
♡ Her passive stacks Pyromania. ♡ Pre-6 Annie isn't that powerful. ♡ Annie has a very short range. ♡ Post-6 Annie is deadly. ♡ Use your superior range to poke her out of lane.
Akali
Difficulty: ♡♡♡♡
Things to take note of
♡ Pre-6 she's really really really weak. ♡ Post-6 A deadly monster, ask for ganks. ♡ Try to snowball pre-6. ♡ Get a Pink Ward for her Twilight Shroud. Always. ♡ Use your superior range to poke her out of lane.
Azir
Difficulty: ♡♡♡♡
Things to take note of
♡ Annoying af. ♡ Land your burst before he cuts you down. ♡ He can't kite because of his kit. Making him extremely vunerable to your Light Binding. ♡ When he moves towards you, back off so he can't zone you with his Conquering Sands.
Anivia
Difficulty: ♡♡♡
Things to take note of
♡ She has Rebirth. So it's best to take her down with your jungler. ♡ She has a stun, Flash Frost. It moves quite slowly so try to dodge it. ♡ If you are unable to kill her, gank other lanes. ♡ And she's quite tanky post-6 too.
Aurelion Sol
Difficulty: ♡
Things to take note of
♡ He is really easy to kill just don't get caught by his Breath of Light. ♡ Don't stay in one place for too long. ♡ Snowball.
Brand
Difficulty: ♡♡♡
Things to take note of
♡ Farm if you're losing. ♡ Back away after he has cast his Pyroclasm which is his ult because minions can bounce Pyroclasm. ♡ Back away/Hide behind minions if you are affected by Blaze. He can either Sear you or Pillar of Flame you.
( Sear stuns targets affected by Blaze)
( Pillar of Flame hurts more when affected by Blaze)
Cassiopeia
Difficulty: ♡♡♡
Things to take note of
♡ Dodge her Noxious Blast because it increases her Twin Fang damage. ♡ She can spam Twin Fang now. ♡ Light Binding is easier to land because she can't buy boots. ♡ Stand at your maximum range when executing your combo. Otherwise, she will Petrifying Gaze you.
Diana
Difficulty: ♡♡♡♡
Things to take note of
♡ Post-6 Back away if you are hit by Crescent Strike. ♡ Pre-6 Bully her because she can't do anything without her ult, Lunar Rush. ♡ Call for ganks post-6 because she is deadly during a 1vs1. ♡ Play passive post-6.
♡ She is really painful pre and post-6, so play passively. ♡ After she has used her Distortion, aim your Light Binding at the spot where she returns. ♡ Try to juke her Distortion by stepping back if she marked you with Sigil of Malice.
Lissandra
Difficulty: ♡♡♡♡
Things to take note of
♡ She has lots of CC post-6 so back off if she fires her Glacial Path. ♡ Don't bother bursting her because she will just Frozen Tomb herself. ♡ Poke her out of lane with your superior range. ♡ Don't stand behind minions as the Ice Shard's splash damage will affect you. ♡ If she moves closer to your minions, she is probably trying to extend her Ice Shard's splash damage range.
Malzahar
Difficulty: ♡♡♡♡♡
Things to take note of
♡ He is really annoying with Void Shift. Play passively. ♡ Don't get stay close to a minion which is affected by Malefic Visions. ♡ Call for ganks. ♡ Farm, farm and farm. ♡ Get out of his Nether Grasp's range.
Orianna
Difficulty: ♡♡♡
Things to take note of
♡ Know where the ball is at all times. ♡ Don't stay in the area around the ball.
Syndra
Difficulty: ♡♡♡♡
Things to take note of
♡ She has a really huge burst potential. Please becareful. ♡ Get a zhonya after your first item to make her ult Unleashed Power useless against you. ♡ Dark Sphere that she summons always goes vertical from the place where she is standing when using Scatter the Weak.
♡ Keep moving around within the area if you are in his Event Horizon. ♡ Use your long range to poke him constantly. ♡ If you are hit by Dark Matter, you are instantly dead because he will follow up with Primordial Burst. So try to avoid it.
Ziggs
Difficulty: ♡♡
Things to take note of
♡ His main source of damage is Bouncing Bomb. Dodge it. ♡ Use your long range to poke him constantly. ♡ He should be manageable.
So... it's mid-game to late-game now and you're wondering... What should I do as Lux during a team fight?
♡ Well, you should be the one landing your Light Binding on someone so that your whole team can engage! Only do this if you have no other choice.
No.
LUX
♡ You should let the tanks engage. Your job in a team fight is very simple. If you see an enemy ad-carry out of position, use Light Binding to erase them from existence.
-OR-
♡ When the entire enemy is clumped together, you should unleash your combo on them. Your ad-carry should finish off the champions that you have softened.
-AND-
♡ Throw out your Prismatic Barrier to as many allies as you can. This would definitely increase the rates of being alive.
