Early game (levels 1–5)

Lux's binding range and poke damage outclass your kit before your soldiers are fully online, so she can chip you at will while punishing any careless soldier placement with a root. Play behind minions, don't waste Q on empty pushes, and watch for jungle ganks that pair with her root for an easy kill. Farming under tower with W is safer than contesting trades directly.
