Skills

[Passive: Illumination] Lux's passive is essentially a mark applied to a target if they are hit with any of her damaging abilities. Using an auto attack or her ultimate on the target will detonate the mark, dealing bonus magic damage. Using this mark increases her damage output, but you shouldn't feel like you NEED to detonate marks, as you might take more harassment back than damage you dish out. [Q: Light Binding] Light Binding sends out a skillshot from Lux's position that travels in a straight line, hitting any enemy units it collides with. The first target hit takes magic damage is snared for two seconds, and the second is snared for one second, also receiving half of the raw magic damage that the first received. Light Binding tends to be the opener for Lux's skill combinations, as it snares targets hit for your other abilities to be guaranteed to land. [W: Prismatic Barrier] Prismatic Barrier is an ability that sends a boomerang projectile out from Lux. It extends to its max range and reverses direction towards Lux, shielding allies both on the way out and on the way back. Lux herself is also shielded twice, initially when the shield leaves her, and also when it returns to her. Prismatic Barrier is Lux's most support-like ability, as it is potentially a team wide double-shield with no damage attached. Landing it on as many teammates as possible can turn a teamfight, and as Lux's AP grows, the shield values start getting scary. [E: Lucent Singularity] Lucent Singularity is Lux's bread and butter ability. It fires a projectile towards target area. When it reaches target area, it applies a slow to all enemy units inside the area. Lux can activate the ability by pressing the key again, dealing magic damage to all enemies inside its AoE. Additionally, the ball of light provides vision of the areas it flies through, and the area it lands in, until it is detonated. If you do not manually activate this ability, after five seconds it will detonate itself. [R: Final Spark] The laz0r, Finales Funkeln, the Final Spark, the Mega-Death Laser, Infinite Light(gross), whatever you want to call it. Lux's ultimate is what makes her Lux. After casting for 0.5 seconds, Lux fires a long ranged beam of light, damaging all enemies hit. As a bonus, this detonates any Illumination marks on the target, doing the passive damage based on your level, and reapplies the mark. This thing has 3000 range. That's pretty long. It's good for executing targets who have flashed away, assisting with a team fight from a long distance and scouting as it also provides vision for a short duration. As you gain ranks in Lux's ultimate, its cooldown scales down drastically. It starts at 80 seconds at rank 1, 65s at rank 2 and 50s at rank 3. With 40% cooldown reduction, these cooldowns become 48/39/30 seconds. At level 16+ with 40% CDR, you can pretty much use your ult for whatever you want. Use it to quickly farm a minion wave, get the last hit on a buff your jungler is trying to give you or even steal a buff from the other team, steal Barons and Dragons, and more. And it'll be up again in just 30 seconds! For reference, minion waves also spawn every 30 seconds.
