Early game (levels 1–5)

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.
