How to win lane as Locke against Lux · 50% win rate · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Locke | You dodge Light Binding and punish the long cooldown, so level 1 favours you. |
| Level 2 | Locke | Her only peel is a single skillshot root, keeping level 2 in your hands. |
| Level 3 | Locke | Your dash beats her E slow and Q whiffs at level 3. |
| Levels 4-5 | Locke | Levels 4-5 stay yours as her mana and cooldowns can't zone you. |
| Level 6 | Locke | At 6 her telegraphed Final Spark is dodgeable and you all-in through it. |
| First item | Locke | Your first item closes her range advantage and snowballs the lane. |
| Two+ items | Locke | Two items in, her immobility and single root leave her helpless — still yours. |
You out-trade Lux at every level because a dodged Light Binding leaves her with no defensive tool for 11+ seconds — walk perpendicular and step on her.
