Lux Mid guide

Lux mid is a poke mage built around Light Binding (Q), Lucent Singularity (E), and Final Spark (R): bind a target with Light Binding, slow and detonate Lucent Singularity on their retreat path, then finish with Final Spark, which also triggers Illumination (passive) for a bonus-damage follow-up attack.

The build

Rune page: Arcane Comet, Manaflow Band, Transcendence, and Scorch (Sorcery), with Ultimate Hunter and Cheap Shot (Domination). Summoners: Flash and Teleport. Skill order opens Lucent Singularity (E) at level 1, then maxes Lucent Singularity (E) first with Light Binding (Q) second, leaving Prismatic Barrier (W) last. Starter: Doran's Ring and two Health Potions, into Sorcerer's Shoes. Core build: Luden's Echo, Stormsurge, Shadowflame, with Malignance, Rabadon's Deathcap, and Dark Seal as later options.

Ability mechanics

Illumination (passive) charges any enemy hit by a Lux spell, and her next attack on that target ignites the charge for bonus magic damage scaling with her level. Light Binding (Q) releases a sphere of light that binds and damages up to two enemy units in its path. Lucent Singularity (E) fires an anomaly of twisted light onto an area, slowing nearby enemies, and can be detonated to damage everyone caught in it. Final Spark (R) gathers energy before firing a beam that damages all targets in the area, retriggering Illumination (passive) and refreshing its debuff duration.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Katarina, Syndra, Locke, Yasuo, Ahri. Best matchups: Zed, Viktor, Sylas.
