Xerath vs Lux

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use (Q) and (W) to control lane space and poke, enabling your ADC safe access to trades.
Deny (Q) engage angles by maintaining brush control and shielding your ADC with positioning.
Leverage (E) defensively to peel for your ADC and (R) post-6 for long-range follow-up or picks.

Trading pattern

Poke with (Q) and (W) to open ADC follow-up windows while holding (E) for peel against engage.
Deny Lux's hook angles by controlling brush and positioning between her and your ADC.
Avoid charging (Q) in close fights; use max range poke to minimize punish risk and protect ADC.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) root range and her ADC's follow-up damage when near brush or fog.
Avoid overextending when (R) is up, as her burst can punish poor positioning.
Be cautious when charging (Q) or after missing (E), as you lose peel and expose your ADC to all-ins.

Early game

Win level 2 by coordinating (E) stun with your ADC to secure brush control and deny Lux's angles.
Use early wave pressure to force Lux and her ADC under turret, limiting their access and engage.
Track (Q) cooldown to avoid overextension and create safe poke windows for your ADC.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) unlocks strong pick and disengage windows; coordinate with ADC for follow-up or reset.
First completed mana/AP item boosts poke damage and wave control, increasing pressure on Lux's lane safety.
Track (R) availability to avoid risky engages and capitalize on windows after Lux's ultimate is spent.

Win conditions

Convert poke pressure into denied enemy ADC positioning and safe ADC access for your team.
Use wave crashes to create roam windows, securing river vision and mid-lane pressure.
Set vision around dragon early to leverage poke and (R) for objective control and favorable teamfight entry.
