Guide to Synergizing Gwen and Lux

Tips for Playing as Gwen with Lux

Gwen can still damage enemies outside her Hallowed Mists, especially with her Ultimate's range.

Some of Gwen's Abilities can apply her passive to multiple enemies, so aim them at groups to get maximum damage and healing.

Advice to Understand How Lux Will Play

If you have trouble landing Prismatic Barrier, remember that it returns to you after it reaches max range. Try positioning yourself to hit your allies with its return trip.

Lux has great zone control abilities. Try to set up Lucent Singularity to prevent an enemy's advance or escape.

Lucent Singularity is a great scouting tool. Try throwing it into brush before walking into it to check for ambushes.

Overall, Gwen sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Lux. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Lux helps Gwen perform not as well in competitive League of Legends rounds. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is only marginal.

This change could indicate that Lux provides protection for her to dish out more damage or that her presence also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Gwen is played together with Lux on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Lux.

Is Gwen better when played alongside Lux?

There is no top companion for Gwen that will 100% of the time be her ideal ally. Yet, overall, Lux is a very typical ally for Gwen. By being on the same side as Gwen, she lowers their win rate by -0.9% to 47.2%. This signals that there is not really a strong strategic relationship between Gwen and Lux that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Lux has a lower difficulty than Gwen. That means Gwen players don't need to be cautious when lining up Lux comrades to play with, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to fight well with you.

Fighting on the same side, you will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magical damage. Together, these champs can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

Conversely, by aligning Gwen and Lux together, you will not be granting your side a great deal of cover. We recommend you pick other champs on your team that nullifies this relative gap in their kit.

Regardless of your Lux ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well, regardless.
