Despite the shielding and damage nerf, Lux still boasts one of the highest ARAM win rates placing her in the S+ tier of champions. She has all the necessary tools to excel in this mode, such as fast pushing and poking strength.
To make her even more potent, today we are gonna go over the absolute greatest Lux ARAM build.
Best Lux ARAM Items
Luden’s Companion
The first item we will build for our build is the Luden’s Companion. It is critical for the early game, as it will give us quite a nice boost of mana and prevent us from being unable to cast spells. The item also has a nice passive, which will amplify your attacks, and spread out some damage over other enemies.
Rabadon’s Deathcap
Our build will be aiming to maximize the amount of AP and damage we deal. For that reason, the second item we will be building is Rabadon’s Deathcap. As you might already know, this item will give us a 40% AP boost on our whole loadout, which is extremely significant on Lux, and it’s the reason for it being a core item.
Shadowflame
Shadowflame is another massive item which will have insane AP ratios (120 AP, much higher than other items). The item also has a passive which gives critical strike to our abilities when enemies are below a certain HP threshold.
Horizon Focus
The next item we will build is Horizon Focus. It has a passive that increases its champion’s damage when they are casting long-range spells, and since every Lux spell is high-range, the item will get activated most of the time.
Stormsurge
Stormsurge is a super satisfying item for Lux, the item will produce a passive that smites an enemy for large amounts of damage each time we deal 35% of their health. It will be activated every 10-30 seconds depending on how fed you are, and well, how well you land your abilities.
Boots
The best boots for the full damage Lux build will be Sorcerer’s Shoes, they will give us a decent amount of magic penetration, and in turn make us much stronger. Ionian boots of Lucidity are also an honorable mention, but they are just not as strong.
Runes For ARAM Lux
- Dark Harvest
- Cheap Shot
- Eyeball Collection
- Ultimate Hunter
- Manaflow Band
- Transcendence
Dark Harvest is a perfect ARAM keystone. It’s really easy to proc and we can farm it pretty easily when it is off cooldown. Next up, we will take Cheap Shot, which will grant us some extra damage whenever we impair an enemy. We will also take Eyeball Collection which will give us damage for each unique takedown we score on the enemies.
The first rune of our second half will be Ultimate Hunter, which reduces the Ultimate spell cooldown. This is obviously great as our R is a major part of our kit and it does most of our damage. The second to last rune will be Manaflow Band, which will increase our mana and mana stores. Finally, we will finish off the runes selection with Transcendence, which will give us some scaling stats.
In Conclusion
Lux is one of the most powerful ARAM champions. To make the full use of her in this mode, it is best to build the highest damage AP items. Meanwhile, we can use the items to poke enemies, and convert our strength to a clean victory!
