Lux

Lux mid is a long-range poke laner. Doran's Ring start. Push wave with E (Lucent Singularity) once it crashes — clear in 2 casts of E at full mana. Poke enemy from E range (1100) with Q + E combo.

Q (Light Binding) is your ALL-IN tool — never use it as poke unless guaranteed. Save Q for when enemy uses dash (Akali R, Zed W, LeBlanc W).

Luden's Companion + Sorc Boots is your spike. At Level 6 + Luden's, a full combo (Q -> E -> AA passive -> R) deals 1500+ damage on a squishy.

Roam bot lane after pushing your wave. Q-root at flanking angle = guaranteed kill setup. Stack Manaflow Band procs by casting E on minions.

Long-range execute machine. Your R has 3340 cast range — the longest in the game. Snipe low-HP enemies across the map for kill participation.

In teamfights, stand back-back-line. Q-root the engage target → R them down. Don't all-in dive — Lux dies in 1 second to assassins.

Land Q-roots → snowball through R execute kills. Win on poke + sniping. Lose to fast-roaming mids who out-tempo your wave clear (Talon, LeBlanc, Aurelion Sol).

Win: 50%+ Q hit rate + 3+ R kills cross-map per game. Lose: assassin one-shots you 2x → 0/2 → falling behind.

Level 6 — R unlock = global threat. Luden's Companion (1st item) — burst combo deals 1000+. Level 11 — R rank 2 + 2 items = 3-shot squishies. Rabadon's (3rd item) — 35% AP scaling spike. Level 16 — R rank 3 + 5 items = teamfight monster.

Combos:

• E (place) -> Q (root) -> E recast (detonate slow zone) -> AA (passive proc) -> R = full burst combo, 1500-2000 damage
• W (Prismatic Barrier) boomerangs — shields YOU and ALLIES twice (cast + return)
• R deals more damage to enemies hit by E or Q first (passive proc)

Anti-tips:

• Don't waste Q for waveclear — Q is your only CC
• Don't W into trades — W is for engage-cancel, not poke
• Don't R alone unless guaranteed kill — your only escape is Flash + W shield

Pro tricks:

• Q passes through 2 enemies — line up minion + champion for double-root
• E activates passive ON the next AA — Q -> E -> AA chain procs all in 1s
• R cast range is 3340 — snipe from screen-edge during dragon/baron fights
