Key combo
Power spike & playstyle
Spikes at 6 with Final Spark and at Deathcap; a poke/pick mage—land the Q-root E combo to burst, but she is squishy and immobile.
How to play Lux in League Classic
Lux plays League Classic like artillery with handcuffs attached: everything you do starts with landing Q. Poke E on cooldown from max range, and when a bind connects, follow the full string — E detonate, passive auto, R. Your ult resets on kills it helps score, so cleanup ults across the map are free real estate. Never be the closest player to the enemy; your 1100-range kit exists so you never have to be. Ward river aggressively — a rooted gank target from fog is Lux's version of a solo kill.
