Lux FAQs

Q: Where should I aim my E (Lucent Singularity)?

A: If you want to better aim your skill-shot AoE with Lux in League, try throwing it just a little bit behind your enemy. Most of the time, other players seem to run backwards to avoid your shot. Throwing it a little behind them will keep them inside the area of effect, even when they try to dodge it. If they run forward, root them with your Q.

Q: What are Lux's greatest strengths?

A: Lux's greatest strengths include her long ability range and her great mix of damage and utility. She makes a great support or AP carry. She is particularly well suited to poking and team fighting. You should include plenty of AP and CDR in your Lux build to maximize her abilities.

Q: What is Lux's greatest weakness?

A: Lux's greatest weakness is her poor mobility. She only has her Q to stop enemies from closing with her. Lux has a very difficult time <a href="/champion/lux/counters/" target="_blank">countering other champions</a> with a lot of mobility, such as Zed, LeBlanc, and Yone.

Additional Lux Build Insights

LoL Lux players will likely find her to be a challenging champion to build out properly. You'll notice that her build is modified when she is fighting either diversified or specialized team comps, showing you shouldn't follow the same Lux build every single round of League of Legends

The best items to incorporate into your champion's build include: Luden's Tempest, Rabadon's Deathcap, and Shard of True Ice. Players who added these pieces in their gear had a greater winrate than players who worked towards other Lux builds. Moreover, if you are fighting a varied enemy team arrangement, you should really consider grabbing Lux the Inspiration, and Sorcery runes. In recent matches, she won the greatest percentage of her rounds when equipped with these runes.

We calculated our Lux build guidance by examining 193,024 recently ranked League of Legends games with her in them. We only recommend the highest winrate Lux builds that have been used by ranked LoL players enough times for us to propose them. With so many rounds in our dataset, we are very confident in our recommended builds.
