Garen vs Lux

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Prioritize surviving Lux's poke by managing lane priority and wave position near your side.
Focus on short trades to build execute pressure around level 6 rather than extended fights.

Trading pattern

Use (Q) to silence and start short trades with (E), then disengage before Lux can retaliate.
Punish Lux immediately after she wastes (Q) by stepping forward for quick trades or contesting CS.
Avoid trading when (W) shield is active to prevent losing damage advantage.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) root cooldown and avoid overextending when it is up.
Be cautious during (R) availability as her burst combo can kill or heavily chunk you.
Avoid extended trades after your (Q) silence ends to prevent retaliation from Lux's poke and root combo.

Early game

Farm behind minions and only short trade with (Q)+(E) when Lux misses (Q) to avoid poke.
Hold the wave near your turret side to limit Lux's poke angles and reduce her zoning potential.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) execute to finish Lux after chipping her health with short trades.
First bruiser or defensive item spike increases your durability to absorb Lux's burst; repeat controlled trades to build a health lead.
Respect Lux's level 6 (R) window and avoid committing fully when her ultimate is available.

Win conditions

Deny Lux free farm by punishing missed (Q) and contesting CS whenever safe.
Use short (Q)+(E) trades to chip Lux down and reach execute range for (R) all-ins after level 6.
Disengage after trades to maintain passive health regen and look for side lane pressure to threaten executes safely.

Tip: For Garen vs Lux, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
