How to win lane as Naafiri against Lux · 58.65% win rate over 2,179 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Naafiri | Level 1 favours you since Lux is a slow, dash-less caster you can walk down. |
| Level 2 | Naafiri | At level 2 a dodged Q Light Binding leaves her defenceless for your trade. |
| Level 3 | Naafiri | Level 3 W The Hunt gives you an all-in she has no answer to. |
| Levels 4-5 | Naafiri | Through 4-5 you punish every binding cooldown with superior step-up trades. |
| Level 6 | Naafiri | At six your W plus E close her R gap before she can re-burst. |
| First item | Naafiri | First item lets you shove and roam past her poor rotation speed. |
| Two+ items | Naafiri | Two items in your pack spreads her single-target combo and W runs her down. |
Levels 1-2 you respect Q Light Binding but Lux has no dash and weak melee presence, so walk behind minions and last-hit freely; a whiffed binding hands you the first trade.
