Early game (levels 1–5)

Lux dominates the first few levels: she out-ranges Azir before he has soldiers online and can punish his low base range with Q pokes and E zoning. Azir is very squishy and mana-hungry early, so a single landed Light Binding into an auto-empowered combo takes a huge chunk. Play aggressive around your poke windows while he is weak.
