How to play it

Dodge her E
Most Lux players drop E behind you: dodge the poke by walking toward her as she casts, not backing off into it.
Your window
Engaging while you dodge a spell wins the trade: dash in the moment her poke misses and burst her down.
Side lane
AP Kat wins the side lane: but only if you can dash onto her, since otherwise she just E-R's the wave on cooldown and disengages.
Never back straight into her E as you retreat: that's the poke she wants to land; walk toward her to dodge it instead.
