How to beat Lux as Yuumi: the early game

Levels 1-4 are yours: attached to your ADC you out-tempo a squishy, mana-limited Lux with steady Q-poke, and her Light Binding is a slow single-target skillshot you sidestep with W — whiff it and she's exposed for its long cooldown. Her root sets up more damage than you can heal off in one cast, so keep the speed up preemptively. Stay attached, keep your carry off her line, aim the missile only in the gaps, and never detach where a single root would end the exchange outright.
