Read from Alistar's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Lux.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lux | Level 1 Lux out-ranges Alistar and pokes her for free on every walk-up. |
| Level 2 | Lux | Level 2 continued Q and E poke keep her too low to engage. |
| Level 3 | Lux | Level 3 Light Binding roots her committed engage before W-Q lands. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lux | First-item Lux's poke and root deny every all-in attempt. |
| Level 6 | Lux | Level 6 Finales Funkeln bursts her or her carry when she dives. |
| First item | Lux | 2-item Lux's root and burst punish her flank in teamfights. |
| Two+ items | Lux | Late game Lux out-ranges and out-damages her damageless engage. |
Lux wins the early walk-up by simply out-ranging Alistar: her Q and E let her poke her and her ADC from a distance she can never close, and any step forward into W-Q range means eating a nuke. Her mana pool can't sustain repeated failed engages, so she falls behind on health and pressure in the first two levels. She pokes you and your ADC from a distance you cannot cross without help, so take the chip and hold the wave near your tower. Her root is the only thing that stops the flip. Force it with a fake step-up, then commit on the beat afterwards with Trample already running.
