How to counter Lux

  1. Stand behind minions: Light Binding stops after hitting two targets.

  2. Dodge her E first, since it is her main source of poke.

  3. Close the gap fast: she has no dash or escape of her own.

  4. After she roots you, expect Final Spark next; it lines up perfectly with a binding.
