Track: Lux's Q — Light Binding (10s cooldown). Everything keys off the root — minion-block it and her combo never starts.
Read from Ziggs's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Lux.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ziggs | Level 1 her Q is single-target and minion-blocked; your bouncing bomb wins trades. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 your mines and faster wave chip zone her off the caster minions. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 your minefield and better wave chip still dictate the trades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 even out to whoever lands their skillshot cleaner first. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6: Final Spark plus a Light Binding gives her a real burst combo you lack the tools to answer. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item: Ludens makes her Q-E-R actually execute you. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Two items onward swings back to you as your siege and W mobility outrange and outlast her single-target burst. |
Levels 1-3 you own the lane: her 1175 Q is single-target and minion-blocked, so your bounce chip wins the exchanges, and a whiffed Light Binding on 10s is a free wave crash. Track Light Binding is a flat 10s at 1175 and hits only two units — a caster minion eats it and her combo never starts. Her Q reaches 1175 to your 850, so keep a minion in the lane and answer with bounce chip, not a range duel.
