 * Using while moving will allow you to hit more allies.
 * On cast, will instantly cast the shield on you, and when the rod returns it resets the shield on yourself. When running, cast  in the direction you are running. This way, you will be shielded twice, faster.

 * If is used on the map Twisted Treeline, her ability  from the middle brush can target enemies at the tower. This gives  and her team an advantage in lane control.
 * Her ult is not completely global. It still has a huge range but it is not infinite.
 * It is ill-advised for Lux to get into a close-up fight, as her slow speed, long cooldowns, and relative fragility will work against her. Stay behind your teammates and toss spells into fights from afar to stay out of harm's way.
 * benefits from cooldown reduction more than most champions, as her spells are on a longer cooldown than most caster champions. Try obtaining the buff to use  as an effective poke ability.
 * Having a on your spells is an effective way to see enemies in the fog of war and you can aim  accurately.
 * is great for harassment or clearing large amounts of creeps in a lane due to its short cooldown.
 * The damage of her ultimate extends slightly past the targeting icon, remember this for when opponents might look just out of range.

Build usage

 * It is not recommended to use attack speed items such as and, as  is not affected by ability power and its damage diminishes late game.
 * Lux has prime lane control, making a very useful to ensure dominance giving  enough health and mana. This can later be built into a, granting a fair amount of Ability Power while giving Lux a good health pool should she be focused. The mana granted is also useful to stay in fights longer.
 * Since Lux's spell are on longer cooldown than most (and probably your opponent's) champions' she might have a harder time at the begining of the game. An Elixir of Brilliance, 2 Health Potions and 1 Mana Potion can be deceptively boosting for the beginning when your opponents expect you weaker (both in Ability Power and cooldowns). With proper co-operation with your lane companion you can swiftly get a kill or assist off a careless opponent that will net you enough gold for your first steady item.
 * As Lux can stay relatively far away from a teamfight, AP should take priority over survivability. is the most efficient way of doing this, making all her spells much more potent.
 * Cooldown Reduction is also desirable, especially to free up usage of . Again, choices should be more offensive-geared, such as.

 * Building will grant Lux a fair amount of mana and ability power, allowing her to spam her abilities.

If you manage to gain 20 stacks, you also get those valuable 15% cooldown reductions, which is generally synergizing with Lux and can empty your slot of  for a(nother) Rabadon's Deathcap that can help you keep those 20 stacks undiminished.

Countering

 * All of spells are skillshots, so move erratically to avoid her spells.
 * Avoiding is critical for your survival as it easier for her to land her full combo (»»»») on you.
 * When fleeing with low health, do not move in a straight line, in order to avoid her.
 * has a red indicator that indicates where the ability is cast, even in fog of war. Use this to your advantage.
 * Even though has a long but limited range, the spell animation is nearly instant, unlike.
 * Be careful when you have the debuff on while  fires  as you will receive both the damage proc from the  and the laser itself.
 * Move away from until the  debuff wears off to reduce the damage you will take.
 * As soon as you see cast, do not run backwards towards your tower. Instead, run towards . Most summoners that play , aim their  slightly behind you.
