Elementalist Lux Predictions

Placentas··48 votes·11,731 views

So it's pretty much confirmed that Elementalist Lux will be the new Ultimate Skin. After the Goddess that is DJ Sona, Riot really needs to up their game to really wow the community.

I think it's far too simple to suggest that this skin will merely be a skin where Lux gets different elements for each attack. That's more like a 1850 skin than an Ultimate Skin. Following the theme of previous Ultimate Skins, I believe this new skin will be several skins in one; I am guessing that there will be a transformation for Earth, Air, Fire & Water. Possibly a 5th where Lux really takes charge of her control over the element of light - think really advanced looking Arclight skin. Or perhaps a dark element transformation a la Void.

But another big thing about this skin that I predict is that the voice over is going to be massive, possibly the biggest voice over for any skin or champion yet. A voice over for DJ Sona was obviously not necessary, but a common theme for new high tier skins are the great voice overs. Recently Star Guardian Jinx was released with the most amount of new interactions and lines, so I can see this new Lux skin having even more!

As a Lux main, I am beyond hyped for this skin!

So.... a tuxedo (a a formal skirt and dress shirt) glasses, high heels and Green Flyers? Maybe using a tree sapling as her wand?

If her laugh doesn't haunt the darkest corners of my dreams and she doesn't yell "Finales Funkeln", then I will be disappointed.

If she does not have an arrow tattoo on her head I will be disappointed.

I agree I think she's going to have multiple forms. Probably one for each element (Water, Earth, Fire and Air). Would be cool if each had a unique homeguard animation. Air would have her riding on a ball of wind (Air Scooter from Avatar), Water would have her surfing, Earth would be like Taliyah's passive and Fire would have her flying using using the fire as propulsion.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but this would be one of the few things they could to do have me not purchase the skin. Ultimate skins should be something unique, not an homage/knock off of something.

Jeddy01710 votes

Obviously she's going to be a combination of all the elements. You get the elements: Taliyah (Earth), Annie (Fire), Janna (Wind), Nami (Water), Ahri (Heart) & Boom!

You get Elemental Lux.

PROJECT Ashe and Star Guardian Jinx have really got me hyped for this Ultimate skin! Fellow Lux main here <3 this will be the skin I'll pay full price for! The quality of those two legendary skins were already fricking AMAZING. I can't wait to see what Rito does with Lux!!

Placentas2 votes

Same! I couldn't help but buy both Project Ashe & SG Jinx. I already have my RP waiting for the new Lux skin xD. Riot has really been dishing out some amazing skins this year.

joliesse3 votes

I will literally fangirl and squeal over every little piece of news I get about Elementalist Lux! None of my friends really care, but **** them cause Lux is love, Lux is life <3

So it's most likely going to include the classic Earth, Air, Fire, and Water if I'm not mistaken, but I would seriously LOVE to see things like Dark and Light and as some people mentioned, Heart! I'm wondering how an Air ultimate would look xD

The main thing I'm predicting with such a skin is that similarly to how DJ Sona can transform on the fly to different songs, Lux can transform on the fly to embody the different elements, so she can switch to earth, fire, air or water on the fly too which transforms her abilities. I dunno how her ult will look if it's earth based, but I differ to Riot's creative minds on that one, and of course they could just go the easy route of combining the elements for the ult, but even DJ Sona's ult differs depending on the form, so I dunno.

DwarvenGiant6 votes

I feel like it will be more than the "press a button, switch form" thing, as Katey and other Rioters have said (months ago) that, with the next Ultimate skin, they'd like to do much more than model-swapping- something unique to be set apart from the current 3 Ultimate skins.

I personally wouldn't mind model-swapping as long as it does bring something new with it to the table though (e.g: DJ Sona's dynamically-changing songs).

Placentas2 votes

That's what I'm feeling too. Like I said, they really gotta do something big to impress us for this next ultimate. I'm not sure what it could be though...

Victorious Lux3 votes

I'm so hyped about that skin as a Lux main but, to be honest, if it comes to be something like you can't choose your elements, I would be clearly disappointed. If you can switch like Sona with cltr+5 between different elements, I would enjoy it so much, but if she's restricted not to choose her element and just switch because of her level, huu, I don't think i'd enjoy it as much as I thought. Just image Dj Sona being forced to switch between her different forms, you like the red one more than the blue one, but you're forced to change, I would hate it a lot tho, so I don't want it to happen with Lux's ultimate skin.

I would be ok with something like all her elements get upgrades at different levels, like different particules or something like that, but you still can switch as you want between each element. If there is a level upgrade on the skin, I hope it won't affect the choice of elements you can play, I really don't want to be restricted about that.

I just want her to have three elements, Earth, Wind, and Fire, and her fourth move is just her singing.

Steelflame4 votes

I actually suspect map (skin) altering effects for Elementalist Lux. It isn't something heavily explored in league, would be really good practice for them on actual full map skinning in the future (something Riot has expressed interest in, although never really acted on after updating SR), that would probably be optionally enabled for all players in the game, ah-la DJ Sona's music for her allies.

Agreed. I will buy this skin as my reward for reaching Level 7 and 100k Mastery on Lux!

Honestly i don't understand how the hell would elements tie into Lux...Light isn't an element either by the way.

Placentas17 votes

She's a mage who can learn a new spell just by seeing someone use it once. She's super powerful and has mastered other magics than light. And in anime/magic universes, light can be an element. Shit, heart is considered an element in some magic lands lol.

RogueWill1 votes

In anime lighting is considering an element (not light) magic universes ship light under "Holy" to kinda go against "Dark", I have never seen an anime/magic universe where light is shipped as an element

Honestly i don't understand how the hell would elements tie into Lux.

Elements doesn't tie into Lux, but it does tie into ELEMENTAL Lux. Remember most skins take place in an alternate universe & Elemental Lux is going very different from normal Lux. It's a god damn Ultimate skin after all. Elemental Lux most likely uses the elements instead of light for her abilities.

What if she had the ability to switch between different elements?

Like Ctrl 6 would rotate between Earth, Wind, Water, Fire

...that would be pretty cool

Mighty Mortein3 votes

I hope she can: A: Change her elements at will. Using Ctrl 5/7/8/9, etc. Or B: Change her elements when she hits certain levels. AND I hope she has some sort of SFX aura around her at all times that change with her element choice.

I am so looking forward to this. I was hoping for a Project Lux for a while, but this is something that's actually going to happen. Now we just need to find out what she looks like and when it will be released....

I was thinking it is supposed to SURPASS the last Ultimate Skin, namely DJ Sona. I think I've read some Rioter state that in a discussion. So, if DJ Sona was able to change the in-game sound for everyone (it was an option, but not a necessity for you to listen to it) what if Elementalist Lux (please, please, be real! We have like 99% certainty, but till it's oficially announced I'm not gonna get my hopes up...) could change whole Summoner's Rift? Like, you can choose fire, and whole map becomes fire-themed, air, and SR becomes blue, some wind creatures fly around and stuff, etc. That would be super awesome and fitting for the next Ultimate. Naturally, you could turn the option on/off, just like you can choose if you wanna listen to DJ Sona's music.

Or she could affect the map in some other way. Maybe leave marks when she used her spells, like Taliyah does with her Q, but, obviously, not affecting gameplay in any way (I mean, we know she can't just create walls and stuff, but maybe some kind of a lake in the mid lane when you play water version of the skin?)

I can't quote the source, but I dimly remember someone from Riot mentioning developing a map-changing Ultimate Skin in the future.

I used water, air, fire and ground for elements here, but it could also be chinese elements, or light/darkness stuff. Either way, changing map would be such an awesome opportunity.

I just feel changing forms was used already so many times. Changing spells and appearance would just feel like having 4 different skins. And let's get real - neither DJ Sona, Spirit Guard Udyr, nor Pulsefire Ezreal are just few skins in one, for you to choose freely during game. The changes are explained in their kits and characters (also, more then just a "skin" changes in Sona's case). It would be disappointing if Riot just made 4 skins, merged it into one and sell it for lots of money, naming it "Ultimate".

As a Lux main

I have to ask you an important question.

WHY?!

CasterGilgamesh5 votes

because she is fun? because she has a giant fricken awsome rainbow laser!!!

Placentas8 votes

Well...I just love her. I love her lore and the league judgement (even if it isnt canon anymore?).

On the outside Lux comes off as incredibly cheerful and naive, but she's the exact opposite. She's a highly skilled spy and mage and she's tormented on the inside. She didn't want to join the demacian army, and she pretty much originally only joined the League so she could meet her brother.

That's why I love her laugh so much too. It's one of the few hints at the unstable person hiding inside the facade of the light mage. The light mage has a lot of darkness and sadness inside her, oh the irony.

Her kit is also really simple to use and learn, but can also be used creatively.

Wind Whistler2 votes

I suppose that's a valid reason, but unfortunately, I simply can't see it.

I know this probably will offend you, or at least hurt you in some way, but when I read her lore, all I can see is some spoiled brat. Wealthy family? Check. Cool powers? Check. Quick learner? Check. She just has so many good things going for her, and I can't see anything bad that happens in her lore. Maybe there's something you've read about her somewhere that I haven't seen before? If so, I'd really like to see it.

Also, I suppose the reason I hate her kit is because they've simply buffed it too many times. It's not necessarily a bad kit, it's just... An overpowered one.

Placentas4 votes

That's cool dude, I dont get offended when people don't like the same fictional characters as I do...cause they're ya know, fictional.

http://forums.euw.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=53939 - the League Judgements always impressed me more than the old lore. Idk if you have read them.

The thing with Lux's kit, it is very powerful yes, but it's so easy to dodge all her spells. She needs to land a full combo to really take someone out.

LordHippoman5 votes

I can't see anything bad that happens in her lore.

Huh. Her Lore leaves a lot out, I guess I never realized that before. I'd highly recommend you read Lux's judgement, because it's really good, and sorta inverts her character. Her wealthy family sent her for a forced conscription into the military, where she was brainwashed and indoctrinated (and participated in it!), and her entire "I'm super cheerful" thing is an act to hide that she's horribly mentally screwed up.

I'd say she has one of the more "creative" tragic backstories. No dead parents, no avenging some dead mentor figure, it's pretty good.

Placentas4 votes

I think that's why a lot of people dismiss Lux, even when they do find out her backstory - because she doesnt have dead family, she's from a wealthy family, she has a high ranking job, etc.

But that's really one of those situations where it's similar to celebrities. Sure they have money, fame, etc, but so many celebs seem to be dying on the inside and will even be vocal about it. And then when vocal about it they get the "Oh well, you have x,y,z, and I don't even have x" responses.

Being in situation like that can just feel so hopeless due to the initial situation/depression and then people refusing to listen or help. I think that's what happened to Amy Winehouse; never wanted fame, it gave her anxiety and depression.

It can be hard to relate or emphasize with people who materialistically have more or seemingly have more of x,y,z.

...a 1850 skin...

1820***** Sorry for nitpicking, but I so very frequently see this 30 RP mistake being made. :)

Am otherwise too hyped for this next ultimate skin to actually having much to say about it.

Placentas2 votes

Oh no, good clarification! I always think they're 1850
