When Safe lane poke and trading

1. EZone→
2. AutoDetonate

Tip Place E under the target to restrict movement, then detonate it to apply Illumination. Step in for one basic attack only when Lux is in range and their retaliation is unavailable; otherwise take the E damage and keep Lux's distance.

When Converting a successful Q root into the full burst rotation

1. QRoot→
2. ESlow→
3. AutoDetonate→
4. RR

Tip Root with Q, place E, then land a basic attack to consume the existing Illumination mark. R consumes any mark still present and reapplies Illumination, so add one final basic attack only if it is safe to step into range.

When Squeezing maximum burst on a locked target

1. QRoot→
2. AutocancelDetonate→
3. ESlow→
4. AutocancelDetonate→
5. RR

Tip Each Q or E hit applies Illumination, which an attack or another damaging ability can consume for bonus damage. Do not force a basic attack between every spell; detonate only the marks Lux can reach safely, and remember R consumes an existing mark while applying a new one.

When Catching a fleeing enemy from an unexpected angle

1. FlashGap close→
2. QRoot→
3. ESlow→
4. AutoDetonate→
5. RR

Tip Flash does not extend Q itself; it moves Lux's starting position forward so the spell can reach farther than expected. Aim Q in the same direction immediately, then use E → basic attack → R on the root; Q can hit up to two targets, so one minion in front does not necessarily block it.
