How to play Lux in ARAM Mayhem

Lux is a solid, middle-of-the-pack pick in ARAM Mayhem on patch 26.21: tier B, #117 of 173 champions, with a 48.1% win rate over 1,490,768 games.

92% of Lux's damage to champions is magic, so enemy magic resist is what slows it down. It keeps its team alive with 5,667 shielding on teammates in an average game; stay behind your frontline and save it for the fights that matter. With 71 seconds of crowd control per game it is one of the team's main sources of lockdown. It dies only 8.3 times per game on average, fewer than most.

The AP build, ability power items, is both the most played and the top-ranked path: Luden's Echo, Rabadon's Deathcap and Shadowflame, with a 46.5% win rate over 1,027,465 games. For boots, Sorcerer's Shoes are both the most bought and the top-ranked pair.

The cards that do best on Lux are BEES!!!, Hand of Baron and Wooglet's Witchcap. Cards built around movement speed fill most of the top of its list, followed by ability haste. Most of its S-tier cards are prismatic, so a prismatic offer is often the pick that shapes the game. Skip Snowblast and Master of Duality when you can: they do worst on Lux. A pair to look for: Windspeaker's Blessing with Biggest Snowball Ever.

Take Flash and Ghost (57% of players). Max E (Lucent Singularity) first, then Q, then W.
