A guide to picking your champion when facing Lux

abdul569··210 votes·13,290 views

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 of what type will be next champion? That wouldn't count as hinting, would it? We are discussing Pokémons and stuff.

Probably dark because of their mysterious past.

Yes. But since she can evolve mid game into her other forms, it may be unwise as fire will hurt morde and it may prove to be a popular evolution

Who's hype for Pokemon Sun and Moon next week?

RainbowIcee2 votes

I've been playing pokemon since yellow. I think it's time i let my old boy go and stop playing pkmon games. It's not the new pokemons, it's just aside from fairys generation 6 felt like a drag. Someone should really design a good monster catching game that has better gameplay and more viable monster mechanics than pokemon. After 20 years it should be easy to improve over it.

Ronin One1 votes

I heard Yokai Watch has some similarities to Pokemon if you're interested. Personally, I'm not interested in Yokai Watch though.

RainbowIcee1 votes

playing world of final fantasy atm. It's also a monstar catching game. Sadly they didn't do much to make the gameplay deeper but it's still a bit more advance than pokemon's.

rtbf761092711 votes

I'm also surprised they never improved on the idea. They didn't really try to innovate in the history of pokemon.

I always thought they should make an MMO out of it. Basically what pokemon go tried to be, except all virtual like a normal game. You could have teams and gyms made up of actual players. If it was not really pokemon, one could also introduce equipment to gear your guys so you can hunt both loot and the monsters themselves

Noone is too old for Pokemon mate. While preording sun I was sad thinking that I used to beg my parents for months to get those games and now my salary goes in Pokemon xD

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

Velzard of Koz3 votes

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.

The flying and fire types cancel out. she takes average damage. Plus kayle knows the move protect so she's fine against Lux. Vel's really good vs fighters ironically....his counter is dark (Zed ) types as well....fishy if you ask me.

So i guess Lux is the new Eevee

Unicky2 votes

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.

Why not go for a useful stab attack instead of Hyper beam tho? Only 15 base power less on FT/TB/IB :o

True, true, but it's all about style points. It feels cooler to blow someone up with a super laser, even if it does make you vulnerable.

True.. Not sure but I think she has pixilate anyway tho.

What? I don't understand the logic behind any of this.

elon wątroba2 votes

Pokemon games are using "a bit advanced" rock-paper-scissors system, where certain types are doing x2, x1, x0, x1/2 damage against another ones. There are 18 basic types + pokemons with dual typing.

rtbf2256182412 votes

What? Pokemon? Am i the only person that has never watched/played it?

...well thanks for explaining then i guess.

The problem is...

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

So its hard to counter her types...

She doesn't have a fighting type. may just have to go with the safe option and go for a normal type. We don't have many in midlane though.

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)

Rather appropriate both Anivia and Kennen were mentioned with this.
