In this guide, we will be taking a look at Lux Support. It's worth mentioning that you can also play Lux in the mid lane. Lux is an enchanter support champion. She excels at shielding and healing to help out your team and to help keep them alive. She has a pretty strong laning phase you just need to be careful if the enemy bot lane engages onto you because you do not have a lot of health and can die very quickly. The later the game goes the better Lux gets. Her shields and crowd control from Light Binding become even stronger and you can do a lot more to keep your team alive.
Lux can also be played in the mid lane, make sure to check the alternative build at the top of the page! With Lux mid, you want to build towards more damage so you can be impactful in team fights and you don't need to worry about protecting your ad carry.
Lux does best with support items that give her shields more power. With that in mind, Luden's Echo is a great first item for Lux. It's not really a 'Support' item but the stats and passive benefit her a lot when playing to try and carry. Another strong item is Staff of Flowing Water. This item gives her a lot of Ability Power, Mana and Ability Haste which are all good stats that will help Lux carry her team. Also when Lux heals or shields an ally, they both get Ability Haste and Ability Power for a few seconds.
With runes, we have the following:
This gives Lux more shield power and allows you to deal extra damage, which is excellent for early-game trades in the laning phase.
Scorch gives Lux a lot of poking power in the early game. This can help you win trades early on.
The great thing about Mark of the Weak is that it helps your Duo Lane deal increased damage with their abilities on the target you hit with an ability, so it helps you both deal more damage.
As a support, you will be roaming the map, clearing vision around objectives and during the lane. This gives Lux a lot of Ability Power, increasing her damage and shield power.
Revitalize gives Lux's shield so much more power, making it difficult to play against since her shielding will be too much to break through.
Lux does well in the early game, you can poke the enemy with Lucent Singularity and if you can time your Prismatic Barrier shield you can win trades vs the enemy bot lane. The most important spell to hit during the laning phase is Light Binding. If you can land this ability in the laning phase the enemy will be rooted and you can win the trade vs the enemy every time. You have to be very careful when stepping forward with Lux as if you get caught out and engaged on you can die very quickly.
The later the game goes the stronger Lux gets as her shields and heals get stronger with more items. Surprisingly Lux can still do a lot of damage as a support. If you land Light Binding on the enemy make sure you follow it up with Final Spark to deal a lot of damage. It is really important as a support that you stay with your team and help them during team fights. Prioritize staying back and keeping your carries alive protecting them against the enemy team using everything possible to keep them alive. The AD Carry in your team is one of the main damage sources and keeping he/her alive is really important!
Overall Lux relies a lot on landing and hitting skill shots, I'd recommend going into practice mode to give her a try first to see what she does but when you get into the game you can stay back, use your shield, and damage to win the game.
