Level 2LuxSame dynamic continues — she out-ranges you and denies CS with Lucent Singularity
Level 3LuxShe keeps kiting and poking before you have the tools to punish her positioning
Levels 4-5LuxHer bind-snare combo still threatens flash-ins if you overextend for CS
Level 6AniviaGlacial Storm gives you a zone she can't out-poke, flipping the lane your way
First itemAniviaYour wave clear and burst combo now outscale her single-target kit
Two+ itemsAniviaFull-build Anivia teamfights and waveclears far better than Lux at this stage

Early game (levels 1–5)

Lux's Light Binding range and Lucent Singularity zone outclass your short auto-range and slow Flash Frost windup through levels 1-5, so she can poke you off minions without ever entering your kill range; you're stuck freezing the wave and eating chip damage while waiting on levels.
