Advice on using Lux ult in teamfights?

koshkyra··2 votes·509 views

Whenever im in a teamfight as Lux, ill see a bunch of lined up enemies and think, "Perfect ult!"

But sometimes ill land a Q on the enemy squishy carry and think, "should i blow up the squishy, or save it for when everyone is lined up?"

Which should i choose? Normally i go with the first option, but maybe im doing it wrong. Advice?

Go for the squishies. Getting them out of the fight should be #1

Blow up the squishy. Taking an enemy out of a 5v5 with an ult on a low CD is always worth it. Squishies are usually high dmg threats and removing one can be the thing that wins you the game. Second priority is to just flat out deal as much dmg as possiblle but taking an ADC/Mage out of a teamfight will win you the game if its late enough.

If you have the opportunity to use it, use it. Blowing up a squishy is always worth it as a mage.

If you have the chance to kill you should so you get the reduced cooldown

Why on God's green earth did they add a cooldown refund on this thing? It already has a cooldown of 30 seconds at max rank with 40% CDR!

I recently started playing Lux after getting Elementalist on sale, and I suddenly started winning a lot as support. It's great fun. Then I re-read the R description and I said, "HOLY SHIT 10% CDR ON KILL!" A week later, I re-read it again when it was level 3... "WOA WHAT THE FUCK IT'S 50% NOW!"

It's pretty shocking, really. It's what makes her viable though. :D

BTW, this was a great question and deserves more upvotes.

Just got out of a support Lux round. Ardent Censer item 3504 continues to be amazing with her shield.

Priority: Kill the Carry. (Cooldown refresh on-kill means it'll be up again sooner than later.) Secondary: AoE DPS. Try and land a Q on enemies to proc the passive.

Turning a 5v5 into a 5v4 is what you need to be thinking about this as. Any opponent out of a teamfight is one less person disabling or dps'ing your team.

Either try to land E on multiple people so you get to proc your passive on everyone, or blow up a carry.

whichever comes first

You should always kill the squishy if you get the chance. If you try and wait to hit multiple people with your ult, you just may have lost the whole team fight for your team.
