Since Lux will soon become very popular, I would like to look into what champions to pick against her http://i.imgur.com/9PBcVQQ.jpg

A: is a water type. Use electric type and grass type pokemon when facing her while avoiding fire types. Good choices: Kennen Zyra Bad Choices:Annie Brand

B: A grass type. Unlike A, fire and ice types as well as poison types are really good against her but water types and rock types are a big nono. Good: Cassiopeia Anivia Bad: Malphite Nami

C: Flying type: Use electric and rock types versus this form while avoiding fighting and grass types Good: Kennen Taliyah Bad: LeeSin Maokai

D: Fire type. Fire types are weak to ground and rock type champions while strong against ice, bug and steel Good: Rammus Azir Bad: Khazix Mordekaiser

E: A Dark type. Use Fairy type and fighting type attacks. Avoid Psychic types as they have no affect on her. Also has good resistance vs dark types Good: Olaf Lulu Bad:Zed Nocturne

F: Psychic Type. Ghost types are super effective along with dark types. Don't use fighting types or poison. Good: Karthus Kalista Bad: Singed JarvanIV

G: Seems like a dual type of rock/fire. Best types are water and ground. Avoid using fire and normal types as you only deal 1/4 and 1/2 damage respectavely. Good: Skarner TahmKench Bad: Draven Ziggs

H: Electric Type. This one is tough as her only weakness is ground type. Flying types are not advised when fighting her. Good: RekSai Galio Bad: Quinn Velkoz

I: Fairy Type. Use poison and steel types. avoid dragon types as they deal no damage to her Good: Teemo Blitzcrank Bad: AurelionSol Shyvana

J: Finally the ice type. Best choice would be Fire and Fighting. Grass and Flying will have trouble though Good: Kayle Leona Bad: Janna Aatrox

Final Note: Riot has nnot announced it but it may seem like almost all of the Lux's forms will be dual types with psychic as their 2nd type. In which case I would look at F for what to use.

So you're telling me Missingno. is the only real counter to lux?

Wait about last point. Is Kayle good choice? She's flying, too, you know.

But I worry not. I'll pull out my Psychic/Flying Velkoz and he'll one-shot them all anyway because that's they only pokémon I've been playing, he was my starter and so he's lvl 60 now. Just spammin' that one ability.

So i guess Lux is the new Eevee

Yeah, she's definitely a UU mon, she's definitely stronger beats weaker mons Kalista Karthus with her type diversity but she lacks the base stats to compete with OU's greatest Anivia Cassiopeia Kennen. She either gets walled (he he) out or outclassed by most OU mons.

Personally I'd use her as a glass cannon, all-out attacker. I'd put 252 ev's into her ability power, 126 ev's in HP per level and 126 in movement speed. Let her hold a salac berry so that when she survives with her extra hp, she can sweep the enemy team. Give her Wide Guard for utility, Grass Knot to help her take out walls like Malphite as well as some of her other counters, Whirlpool to keep ground and rock type threats like RekSai Galio trapped with her and Hyper Beam to 1-shot squishy threats like Annie Cassiopeia.

Would Jhin be a psycho type?

GULAG 4 U11/8/2016, 9:38:17 PM1 votes

Aatrox is flying?

Gamemaster Anth11/9/2016, 5:34:06 PM1 votes

Rather appropriate both Anivia and Kennen were mentioned with this.

uhm bro galio is flying type obviously, have you seen his moves?

GreenBoÍ11/9/2016, 8:37:42 AM1 votes

The problem is...

We dont know which Poke-Lux she will choose...

So its hard to counter her types...

Nickfer251011/9/2016, 1:24:52 PM1 votes

Or just ban her :)

(on a serious note, went it comes to enemy champions that get fed, Lux is the last champion I wanna face)
