Chalice-Deathcap-Grail/Sorc-Void-Moar CDR - Games don't usually last this long. Early deathcap increases wave clear to near perfect with e, not to mention the harass improvements. Lux should, ideally, have max CDR, but aside from the grail second, you don't particularly need to rush it, you should have blue buff in the intervening time before morello's. To be entirely honest : Lux's early game is NOT that important - Just keep up in farm, roam if necessary, and don't die. It's incredibly rare for a 1k+ damage aoe ult to be outscaled :)

{quoted} I like to go max CDR with the highest AP stack I can get.

This is, essentially, the best answer you're going to get on how to build Lux - While morello's does have better early mana regen, i'm a bit of a stick in the mud, and like my established build path. However, as long as you follow the basic high CDR build with an early damage item, It's really a matter of preference as far as order goes, as she scales like a beast because of full AoE.

I've been picking up Lux a little recently. I like to go max CDR with the highest AP stack I can get. Squishies who don't itemize for magic resist will die instantly to a full Q-E-R combo.

In this order

item 3165 item 3158 item 3285 Luden's second because the extra burst is very strong early on. It also adds extra burst to your ult which helps for sniping kills. Then item 3157 or item 3089 depending on if you need defenses or not. Next item 3135 and then Either Dcap or Zhonyas whichever you didn't get.

item 3165 item 3285 item 3157 item 3089 item 3135 item 3158

She's basically all damage and a Zhonya's if she needs it. Depending on your own play style you might move around how much mana and CDR you buy. However her greatest defenses will always be her own range and positioning.

Mostly I'm looking at item 3285 -> item 3020 -> item 3165 -> item 3089 /item 3157 /item 3135 . However as there are massive new AP item changes coming up, what I'm planning to try is item 3285 item 3158 item 3040 item 3089 item 3165 item 3135 in some order.

I've found that a item 3070 as first buy is a massive QoL improvement. 1/10 junglers gives up their blue buff before 20 minutes (in my experience), so you can never count on that. If you're leveling E first, item 3165 just won't cut it for regen early on.

After you cap CDR, finish item 3003 or item 3040 then item 3135 or item 3089

With the upcoming AP changes, item 3003 is your strongest first AP item.

Lux is fairly offensive, dealing a lot of damage with quick bursts and low cooldowns. I usually build for at least a bit of mana regen right off (she's a bit of a mana sink), and then start building for as much AP as possible. She's also at range most of the time, so defense shouldn't be a priority most of the time. If you need defense, take items with additional AP.

So, start off buying item 3114 or item 3028 (take chalice for a bit of defense in lane), item 3020 item 3285 next, and finish the item 3165 or item 3174 now. After that, buy what you need (AP, CDR, defense, penetration, etc )

That's usually how I build. Might not work for everyone, but this works for me and my play.
