Pair with an ADC who has strong waveclear, like Sivir, to hold the lane while you roam. Capitalize on solo experience and Bard's passive to scale effectively. Focus on roaming to impact other lanes once your ADC is in a safe position.

Tip

Avoid being hit with Light Binding (Q) while using basic attacks to contest lane. As Lux lacks movement skills, use Magical Journey [E] and Tempered Fate[R] often to break enemy formation.
