| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lux | Level 1 favours Lux — her Q range and poke outclass your empty early. |
| Level 2 | Lux | Level 2 still Lux; Light Binding into auto poke punishes any step-up. |
| Level 3 | Lux | Level 3 remains hers as she can chain E-Q for a real chunk. |
| Levels 4-5 | Vladimir | By levels 4-5 your Transfusion sustain outlasts her poke and flips the lane. |
| Level 6 | Vladimir | At 6 Hemoplague plus your heal beat her single Final Spark threat. |
| First item | Vladimir | First item lets you facetank her rotation and punish the cooldowns. |
| Two+ items | Vladimir | At 2+ items your scaling and AoE bury her one-combo profile. |
Levels 1-3 belong to Lux — respect Light Binding's range and never stand outside your minions where a root leads into her full Lucent Singularity burst; farm with Transfusion and eat only what you can heal.
