Excellent (8.5/10)

Lux-I is a board based champion focused on the 'Support' mechanic, using it to buff allies and stack Spirit and Impact.

At maximum investment, she is very good at OTKs, often overkilling the nexus by hundreds of damage through Impact stacks alone.

Her game plan can be a bit fragile though. As a board based combo champion, she needs multiple pieces on the board to activate her support effects, so her game plan can be vulnerable to disruption. This can feel especially bad because she has limited defensive tools.

Support Chain FTK

Strategy

Lux-I wins in one attack when she has three units on the board, supporting each other like this:

Lux -> Lumiosprite -> Any Unit.

With 4 starting mana, you can play any 1 cost unit, then Lux to get a free Lumiosprite and set up the combo.

Other Relic Options
  • Perfect Hex Core icon

    Counts as 'targetting' for her constellation abilities, granting Sprit and Impact alongside the normal free keyword from hexcore.

  • Greenglade Shadeleaf icon

    Grants Lux's supported ally Elusive, often preventing them from dying in the attack.

    Review

    The 'Crush' power is exceptionally strong, especially since Lux ends up with very large stats. Without it, you would need to dedicate a relic slot to an overwhelm granter like The Beast Within.

    Review

    Starting out being able to play Lux on turn 1 is extremely strong given how much of her game plan relies on aggressive tempo attacking.

  • Icon for Lady of Light

    Lady of Light

    Each round, the first time you attack, refill 1 mana for each attacking ally and draw a spell.
    Review

    This is a decent upgrade, but by no means transformative or required. Lux doesn't attack with that many units, and the mana comes too late to really make a difference.

Gameplay Tips
  • Lumiosprite

Lumiosprite is the best card in Lux's deck by far, and is an extremely important combo piece. You want as many copies of it in your deck as you can get, and you want to cut the other 2 cost cards to ensure Found Fortune grabs it.

  • Ephemeral Synergy

Ways to cheaply summon ephemeral copies of allies are extremely strong, such as Shadow Totem on Lux. Always position the ephemeral to the left of the real copy, so the support stat buffs apply to the non-ephemeral unit.
