Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1DianaDiana wins trades level 1 too since Lux has to land Light Binding at range while Diana just farms safely and waits.
Level 2DianaDiana still out-scales the poke because Lux's damage per Q-E rotation is lower than the burst Diana threatens once she closes.
Level 3DianaDiana keeps the edge as her Q range now covers Lux's E zone, letting her punish any overextension for CS.
Levels 4-5DianaDiana's all-in threat only grows as she nears full combo lethality while Lux still lacks any hard escape.
Level 6DianaDiana's Ultimate arrives with better engage range and no cast delay compared to Lux's slow-charging Final Spark, so R-timing favors Diana.
First itemDianaDiana continues to snowball off first-item burst thresholds faster than Lux's poke damage scales.
Two+ itemsDianaDiana's point-blank burst remains unanswerable for a champion with no dash or blink, so the late-game duel stays Diana-favored.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Lux out-ranges your auto-attacks and can chip you with Q-E combos if you walk up carelessly, so farm with Q on minions and only step forward when her Binding is down.
