Track: Lux's Q — Light Binding (10s cooldown). Everything keys off the root — minion-block it and the combo never starts.
Read from Rell's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Lux.
This is Rell's own plan; across 4,384 pooled games the lane is leaning Rell.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lux | Lux's level-1 Q root outranges your melee walk-up engage. |
| Level 2 | Lux | At 2 her long-range binding punishes you before you can dismount. |
| Level 3 | Lux | By 3 her poke and burst dominate the lane from safe range. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lux | Through 4-5 she chips you and your ADC down with Q and E. |
| Level 6 | Lux | Her level-6 Final Spark plus root deletes you when you commit. |
| First item | Lux | On first item her poke war outranges everything you have. |
| Two+ items | Lux | Late, a fed Lux one-shots squishies and roots your engage before it lands. |
Lux owns the early poke war — her Q root and E zone out-range everything you have as a melee engage support, so if she lands a Light Binding as you walk up, she and her ADC burst you before you dismount. Approach only behind your minions so her Q hits creeps, and never facecheck a brush. Poke phases favor her, so freeze and wait for jungle help rather than forcing a level-2 all-in. Her root stops the approach before you land, so never commit in a straight line. Keep the bind on your carry, crash down only once her root is already spent, and let the stolen resists cover the burst that follows rather than trying to out-trade it.
