Lux vs Naafiri

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Lux is a long-range artillery mage who must maintain range control to avoid Naafiri's all-in threat.
Use high lane pressure to deny Naafiri safe poke and prevent her from setting up W engages.

Trading pattern

Poke with E and follow up with Q root to lock down Naafiri before bursting with R.
Respect Naafiri W engage; only commit if her W or R is on cooldown or if you have shield W ready.
Punish Naafiri after she wastes Naafiri Q poke or commits W into your crowd control or shield.

Danger windows

Naafiri is dangerous when her W is available and your Q is on cooldown; avoid extended trades then.
Be cautious when Naafiri's R is active as her chase and burst increase significantly.
Missing Q increases risk of Naafiri all-in; maintain tight skillshot accuracy to reduce danger.

Early game

Use E to poke and control the wave early, forcing Naafiri to miss Q poke opportunities.
Keep Naafiri at bay with Q root to punish her if she tries to commit with W without cooldowns.
Avoid reckless Q usage to prevent being all-inned when out of range or crowd control.

Power spikes

Lux power spikes at level 6 with R and upon first completed mage item.
Respect Naafiri power spikes at level 6 with R and after her first lethality item.
Use Lux's shield W to mitigate burst during Naafiri's all-in windows.

Win conditions

Win by landing Q roots to set up poke and burst combos before Naafiri can engage.
Deny Naafiri's poke with E and shield W to maintain lane pressure and prevent her all-in.
Use level 6 power spike and item spikes to burst Naafiri quickly before she can retaliate.

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