Lux vs Pyke

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use long-range poke and root (Q) to control brush and deny Pyke's engage angles.
Prioritize shielding and positioning to protect ADC from Pyke's hook and execute threat.
Maintain river vision to track Pyke's roam timer and prevent mid or dragon pressure.

Trading pattern

Use (E) poke to zone Pyke and bait out his (Q) hook before committing.
Hold (Q) root to punish overextensions or missed Pyke engages and enable ADC burst.
Maintain (W) shield for peel when Pyke's engage cooldowns are up to protect ADC access.

Danger windows

(Q) hook combined with ADC burst creates high kill threat; stay behind minions and avoid isolated positioning.
(W) stealth enables surprise engages from brush; deny brush control and ward river entrances.
Roam windows after Pyke crashes wave leave ADC vulnerable; crash waves and match roams to keep ADC safe.

Early game

Win level 2 by coordinating (Q) root with ADC follow-up to punish Pyke's engage.
Deny brush control to limit Pyke's hook angles and reduce enemy pick potential.
Crash wave safely before roaming to keep ADC protected against Pyke's roam threat.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks Pyke's hook and stun; respect this by avoiding overextension and holding (Q) for peel.
Level 6 (R) empowers Pyke's execute; track ultimate cooldown to avoid risky trades.
First mage item improves Lux's poke and wave control; increase pressure while maintaining vision.

Win conditions

Convert poke and root control into denied enemy ADC positioning and safe ADC access.
Use river vision and wave state to punish Pyke's roam attempts and secure dragon setup.
Coordinate (R) ultimate with ADC follow-up for picks or defensive resets to control teamfight entry.
