Lux Support is best played as a mage rather than an enchanter in SoloQ. Her strength lies in her poke damage and ability to secure kills with her Q binding, especially when paired with ADCs like Caitlyn.

Best Paired With:

• Caitlyn (ideal blind pick combination)
• ADCs with strong follow-up damage

Skill Order

1. Start with 3 points in E for early poke damage
2. Max W after 3-4 points in E if not snowballing
3. Max E fully if ahead and snowballing
4. Q maxed last (root duration remains constant)

Combat Tips:

• Weave auto-attacks between abilities to trigger passive
• Space out Q and E usage in extended fights
• Use abilities together for burst damage when poking from safe distance

Build Strategy

Starting Items:

• Spellthief's Edge
• 2 Health Potions
• Yellow Trinket

Core Items:

1. Liandry's Anguish
2. Shadowflame
3. Rabadon's Deathcap

Situational Items:

• Void Staff (vs. MR stacking)
• Zhonya's Hourglass (vs. assassins)
• Chemtech Putrifier (vs. healing)

Tank Support Alternative Build:

• Evenshroud
• Winter's Approach
• Knight's Vow
• Zeke's Convergence

Against Tank Supports:

• Consider defensive itemization
• Max W after 2 points in E
• Can take Aftershock for survivability
• Focus on catching enemies with Q
• Play more utility-focused role

Key Strategy: Play from long range, prioritizing poke damage and catch potential. Adjust build between AP and utility based on team composition and matchup. When paired with Caitlyn, focus on setting up trap combinations and maintaining lane pressure through consistent poke.

Remember to adapt your playstyle based on matchup - more defensive against engage supports, aggressive against enchanter matchups.
