Ability Skill Order:

- E (Lucent Singularity) first for poke and wave clear.

- Q (Light Binding) second for the root.

- W (Prismatic Barrier) third for the shield.

- R (Final Spark) whenever possible, as it is your ultimate.

General Playstyle:

Lux is a mage support who excels at poking enemies from a distance and providing crowd control with her Q. She can also shield her allies with her W. In the laning phase, focus on poking the enemy and denying them farm. Use your E to poke and your Q to root enemies for your ADC to follow up. Always keep a safe distance and use your range to your advantage.

Farming:

As a support, you won't be doing much farming. However, you can use your E to help your ADC push the wave or to secure minions under tower.

Laning, Early, Mid, and Late Game:

- Laning: Focus on poking and zoning the enemy. Use your Q to set up kills for your ADC.

- Early Game: Help your ADC secure kills and objectives. Ward the river and dragon.

- Mid Game: Stick with your team and provide vision. Use your abilities to poke and engage fights.

- Late Game: Stay in the backline during team fights. Use your abilities to poke, engage, or peel for your ADC.

Team Fights:

In team fights, your role is to stay in the backline and use your abilities to poke and control the battlefield. Use your Q to root key targets, your E to slow and damage enemies, and your R to finish off low health enemies.

Dragon and Baron Objective:

As a support, you should be providing vision around these objectives. Use your Q to catch out enemies and your R to steal the objective if possible.

Matchups:

Lux generally does well against champions who lack mobility, as they can't easily dodge her abilities. She struggles against champions who can engage on her, as she is squishy and lacks escape mechanisms. 

And that's a wrap on our radiant journey! Remember, even in the darkest games, Lux's light never fades. Keep shining, and see you on the Rift with the Lux Support Guide - Patch!
