| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lux | Lux's max-range E-Q poke crushes your melee level-1. |
| Level 2 | Lux | At 2 her E zone and Q root threat out-range your engage. |
| Level 3 | Lux | Level 3 she keeps chunking you with mana-cheap E poke. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lux | Through 4-5 her Q sets up burst you can never trade back. |
| Level 6 | Lux | Her level-6 Final Spark executes from range you can't reach. |
| First item | Lux | First-item Luden's makes her Q-E-R burst even harder to survive. |
| Two+ items | Lux | Late Lux one-shots from fog while you only peel and Devour-save. |
Lux dominates 1-3 with the longest poke in the lane: E (Lucent Singularity) zones the wave and Q (Light Binding) threatens a root you can't dodge at melee. You have zero ranged trade, so any walk-up eats a Q into her ADC's follow-up. Body-block Q for your carry, eat E with Thick Skin, and never overextend past minions.
