What makes Lux dangerous
Lux binds you from long range with her Q (a two-target root), pokes and shields, and her point-and-click-detonated ultimate is a huge laser that bursts you down once her passive and combo line up. She's squishy and immobile, but her root-into-full-combo can delete a carry from screens away.
How to play against Lux
- 1Dodge her Q bind — it's a slow skillshot and the setup for all her damage. Stand behind minions and sidestep it; no root, no combo.
- 2She's immobile with no escape. Assassins and hard engage punish her hard once her Q is on cooldown.
- 3Her shield (W) protects her lane; don't waste all-in resources into it. Trade when her shield and Q are down.
- 4Respect her ult range — she can snipe you low from a screen away. Don't sit at low health in a straight line from her.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓No mobility or escape — easy to dive.
- ✓Her burst needs the Q root to land first.
- ✓Squishy; hard CC and assassins delete her.
- ✓Skillshot-reliant — dodge Q and she's harmless.
Abilities & how to counter them
What each of Lux's abilities does — and how to play around it.
P
광채럭스의 공격 스킬은 몇 초 동안 적을 빛의 에너지로 가득 채웁니다. 럭스의 기본 공격으로 이 에너지를 불태우면 적은 럭스의 레벨에 비례하는 추가 마법 피해를 받습니다.
Q
빛의 속박럭스가 빛의 구를 발사하여 최대 2명의 적 유닛을 속박하며 피해를 입힙니다.
Strong: a long-range two-target root — the setup for all her damage. Weak: a slow skillshot — stand behind minions and sidestep; no root, no combo.
W
프리즘 보호막럭스가 마법봉을 던져 아군 주변의 빛을 구부리며 적의 공격으로부터 보호해줍니다.
E
광휘의 특이점지정한 지역에 뒤틀린 빛의 구체를 띄워 주변 적의 속도를 늦춥니다. 럭스는 이 빛을 폭발시켜 피해를 입힐 수 있습니다.
R
최후의 섬광럭스가 에너지를 모아 빛 기둥을 발사하며 목표 지역에 있는 모든 대상에게 피해를 입힙니다. 또한 이는 럭스의 기본 지속 효과 스킬을 발동시키고 광채 효과의 지속시간을 갱신합니다.
Strong: a huge point-and-click laser that snipes low targets across the map. Weak: it needs the Q root first — dodge Q and don't sit low in a straight line.
Itemization
Lux is AP burst. Magic resist (Mercury's Treads, an MR item) and a Banshee's Veil to block her Q bind answer her. Above all, dodge her Q — without the root she can't land her combo.
