Lux
GameplayLux is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities[]
- Starting an attack windup against a target with a mark that is about to expire refreshes its duration to 0.25 seconds. Casting Final Spark refreshes the marks of all marked enemies to 1.25 seconds if they are within 5000 units of the ability's casting position and have a mark with a remaining duration of less than 1 second.
- Spell shield prevents Final Spark from consuming the mark.
- The on-hit damage from Illumination via basic attack cannot be blocked by spell shield.
- Illumination's trigger from a basic attack can be blocked (bonus damage is negated and the mark will still be consumed).
- PENDING FOR TEST:: Parry interactions ( dodge, blind).
- Targets immune to the root still count towards Light Binding's two-target limit.
- This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.
- Light Binding spawns an additional missile at the same location and vector as the main missile. This additional "Dummy" missile has the same visual effects as the main missile and gets destroyed when it hits a single enemy, thereby making the surviving VFX of the single missile weaker in intensity.
- PENDING FOR TEST: This hacky solution also causes Lux Q to count as two skillshots for things such as "skillshots dodged" Eternals.
- Each pass of the wand grants a shield to each target once.
- Prismatic Barrier may only stack up to 2 times. Subsequent instances of passing through the wand have no effect on the shield's strength nor duration.
- The shield will also be granted to allies near the wand's return location.
- Both passes of Prismatic Barrier cannot hit units whose center is beyond the missile range or behind its origin, even if their hitbox radius overlaps.
- At the return location, this behaviour is overridden by an additional center check with the same diameter as the missile width.
- If Lux dies before her wand returns it will fizzle upon reaching maximum range.
- Lux's wand decelerates on the way out and accelerates on the way back.
- This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the start of the cast time.
- Prismatic Barrier is destroyed by Wind Wall and Blade Whirl but not Unbreakable.
- The initial cast counts as an ability activation for the purposes of on-cast effects such as Spellblade and triggering Force Pulse's passive.
- The manual recast does not.
- Lucent Singularity grants sight while also in flight.
- Final Spark grants sight of its surroundings during the cast time and for 0.5 seconds afterwards.
- This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the start of the cast time.

Champion skins[]

Luxanna Crownguard hails from Demacia, an insular realm where magical abilities are viewed with fear and suspicion. Able to bend light to her will, she grew up dreading discovery and exile, and was forced to keep her power secret, in order to preserve her family’s noble status. Nonetheless, Lux’s optimism and resilience have led her to embrace her unique talents, and she now covertly wields them in service of her homeland.
