Can someone help me with a build for support Lux?

I checked champion.gg like I usually do, but the build there is just mage items, it doesn't even have a sightstone. Does anyone have a build for an actually supportive Lux?

Edit: Thank you to the people who helped! To the people telling me Lux is a bad support, it's okay, I'm not taking her into ranked or anything. I'm collecting champion masteries and Lux is the next one on my list to get to M7

To be completely honest with you, imo she's not really a decent support right now. The itemization path isn't there to allow her to do the damage that she's known for as a support while maintaining her mana pools, and her support role (i.e. shields, wards, and CC).

I CAN HELP :000000!

Edit: I tried adding you and then realized you're on OCE and I got sad. It really depends on the situation you're against though :I. There's a whole lot of intricacies of the fabled Lux support that you must become accustomed to.

There's no set build for anything, but if you're just looking for a general guide;

item 2301 is good on her since it synergizes with her well, giving her additional damage on hit while also giving AP that goes towards more damage and shielding.

Boots are situational. I've been buying item 3117 because I like to roam a lot while the enemy bot lane is dead / my ADC has recalled etc. item 3020 for more damage, item 3158 for more peel. Lux's best defense is distance. I personally don't invest into the def boots unless the enemy is for some reason absolutely destroying us and I feel like theres no other option.

Lux pokes...and does dmg to stuffs and whatnot, ontop of shielding peoples. If you're not worried about dmgs, item 3174 has EXCELLENT synergy with Lux's kit. Honestly if you're supporting, there's very few situations where you shouldn't get this. It's just that good.

After these three items, you could basically build whatever you want. You could go the more supporty path and build something like item 3504 item 3190 item 3107 if you aren't worried about your teams damage and your team needs to survive longer, or if you want to go the damage route, item 3089 + item 3285 + item 3165 is a good path. It's on the expensive side, but it will give you max CDR and a nice chunk of AP, which will also benefit your shields.

Again, everything here is situational, so youll have to decide what's really needed when the time comes; but I do highly recommend at least getting item 2301 and item 3174 on her, regardless of how the game is going, because those 2 items are so good on her. Hope I was at least slightly helpful :D

(I put those lines in there because the items were getting all smashed up and it was annoying me; and while the lines annoy me too, it's less annoying than all the items smashed together)
