How to play it

Don't get caught by Q
Sidestep Light Binding: getting clipped by her Q is what lets Lux land the rest of her damage on you.
Engage on cooldowns
Look to commit when her key spells are down: she's fragile once her abilities are on cooldown.
Play it safe
This is a Hard lane: respect her range, farm safely, and don't eat poke you can't trade back.
Never walk into her poke with your own abilities down: she outranges you and it's already a hard lane.
