| Level 3 | Lux | You keep the range edge as he struggles to close distance. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lux | Q peel and E poke keep you ahead through levels 4-5. |
| Level 6 | Lux | You can root or burst through his level-6 Devour engage. |
| First item | Lux | Item burst outpaces his grey-health regen and shielding. |

You control the early lane: Tahm's only poke is Tongue Lash, which you outrange with E, so chunk him whenever he steps up and deny him the wave. Root him with Q if he tries to close the gap.
