Lux's damaging spells charge the target with energy for a few seconds. Lux's next attack ignites the energy, dealing bonus magic damage (depending on Lux's level) to the target.

About Annie
Dangerous, yet disarmingly precocious, Annie is a child mage with immense pyromantic power. Even in the shadows of the mountains north of Noxus, she is a magical outlier. Her natural affinity for fire manifested early in life through unpredictable...
Annie vs Lux
Annie needs a reachable spell window while Lux can restrict the approach with binding and a slow area.
DoCollect safe Q last hits and look for a supported approach after Lux spends the control that would stop it.
AvoidDo not cross a live binding and slow area only because Pyromania is ready.
Lux: abilities Riot reference
Q / Light Binding
Lux releases a sphere of light that binds and deals damage to up to two enemy units.
W / Prismatic Barrier
Lux throws her wand and bends the light around any friendly target it touches, protecting them from enemy damage.
E / Lucent Singularity
Fires an anomaly of twisted light to an area, which slows nearby enemies. Lux can detonate it to damage enemies in the area of effect.
R / Final Spark
After gathering energy, Lux fires a beam of light that deals damage to all targets in the area. In addition, triggers Lux's passive ability and refreshes the Illumination debuff duration.
Riot's tips against Lux
- Lux has powerful zone control abilities. Try to spread out and attack from different directions so she cannot lock down a specific area.
- When retreating with low health, be prepared to dodge Lux's Final Spark, a red targeting beam fires prior to the main beam, so try to move to the side if possible.
YOUR PLAN AGAINST LUX
Middle vs Middle · unratedMatchup guide
Opening
Use secure Disintegrate last hits to preserve mana. Keep a retreat route away from Lux's slow area rather than walking directly through it for a small trade.
Ability sources
Trade window
After a binding attempt is spent, reassess whether a prepared stun is reachable before Lux can retreat. A missed spell creates a question to evaluate, not an automatic engage.
Ability sources
Teamfight
Use a closer allied angle or hold the stun for a threat already approaching. Avoid extending the whole team through Lux's controlled area to reach one distant target.
