Read from Lux's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Pyke.
This is Lux's own plan; across 13,120 pooled games the lane is leaning Pyke.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lux | You outrange Pyke's only poke tool at level 1 with Light Binding. |
| Level 2 | Lux | Your level-2 Q-E combo beats his single-target hook trade. |
| Level 3 | Lux | At level 3 your sustained poke chips faster than he can heal back. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lux | Through 4-5 you keep max-range control while his gray health blunts your chip. |
| Level 6 | Pyke | Pyke's level-6 R execute flips lane control to him. |
| First item | Pyke | His ult resets keep pressuring you through your first-item timing. |
| Two+ items | Lux | By 2+ items your Final Spark outranges and zones his hook engage. |
You hard-outrange Pyke at levels 1-3: his only poke is the Bone Skewer hook, which is a slow telegraphed line, so sidestep it and punish with Q into E. Keep minions between you and stay near max Q range and he simply cannot trade back. His only poke is a slow charged hook, so stay behind the wave and punish every miss with the zone. Hold the root for the moment he reappears rather than while he is invisible, and ward the flanks so his reposition never arrives without warning.
