Track: Lux's Q — Light Binding (10s cooldown). Everything keys off the root — minion-block it and the combo never starts.
Read from Taric's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Lux.
This is Taric's own plan; across 1,495 pooled games the lane is Taric-favoured.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lux | Lux's level-1 Q root and burst out-range and out-threaten your CC-less start. |
| Level 2 | Lux | At 2 her Q-into-E combo can chunk or kill before your slow E reacts. |
| Level 3 | Lux | Level 3 Lux keeps controlling the lane with superior poke and pick range. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lux | Through 4-5 her Q-E poke and pick threat still dictate the lane at range. |
| Level 6 | Lux | At 6 Final Spark out-ranges your engage and forces you to play her cooldown. |
| First item | Lux | At first item her Q-E-R poke still out-paces your engage and sustain. |
| Two+ items | Taric | Two items in, Radiance and a chain stun close the gap and delete her squishy frame. |
Lux dominates levels 1-3. Her Q root out-ranges everything you have and chains into E-plus-auto burst that can 100-to-0 a caught ADC, while your Q heal only partly refunds the poke at heavy mana cost. Don't trade into her line; body-block Q with minions, keep your ADC back from binding range, and hold E to punish only when she steps up to cast. Ward wide so her Q from fog doesn't start a pick. Her root sets up more damage than your charges can heal, so never share a line with your carry. Keep the link up preemptively, hold the stun for the moment her root is already spent, and spend charges on the burst afterwards rather than during it.
