Lux vs Vex

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Lux is a long-range artillery mage who must control the lane with poke and binding threat to prevent Vex from using her fear effectively.
Maintain high lane pressure to deny Vex the chance to safely use her passive fear and scale comfortably.

Trading pattern

Poke with E and punish Vex's oversteps by landing Q root into burst damage.
Avoid reckless Q usage since missing it leaves you vulnerable to Vex's retaliations.
When Vex's passive fear is down or baited out, trade aggressively with Q + E + auto attacks.

Danger windows

Vex's passive fear windows are dangerous; avoid trading when her fear is active.
Vex is most threatening when her R is up due to engage and reset potential.
Missing Q opens you to all-ins and burst from Vex; keep Q accuracy high to stay safe.

Early game

Use E to poke and shove early waves to keep Vex at a distance and avoid her passive fear trades.
Respect Vex's passive fear by not overextending without Q ready to punish her attempts.
Use W to shield yourself when expecting Vex's burst or fear trades.

Power spikes

Major power spikes: Level 6 R unlock and first completed mage item for Lux; Level 6 Vex R and her first AP burst item.
Respect Vex's level 6 R as her main engage and reset tool; avoid extended trades when it is available.
Lux's R combined with Q and E can burst Vex quickly if you catch her without her shield or fear ready.

Win conditions

Win by maintaining range control and punishing Vex's fear cooldowns with Q + E poke and burst.
Use W to mitigate Vex's burst and sustain lane pressure.
Deny Vex safe use of her passive fear by forcing her to miss it or bait it out, then capitalize with all-in combos.

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