These two mid lane titans clash constantly, making matchup mastery a decisive factor in your climb.

How to Beat Ahri as Lux (Mid)

While statistically Lux is slightly stronger than Ahri in the mid lane, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

The magic damage that Lux deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Ahri has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Ahri, ranking 13th (versus 24th for Lux) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.6 versus 2.8) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Lux Mid versus Ahri Mid matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Lux player to maintain constant pressure on Ahri, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Lux tips:

  • Lux has great zone control abilities. Try to set up Lucent Singularity to prevent an enemy's advance or escape.
  • If you have trouble landing Prismatic Barrier, remember that it returns to you after it reaches max range. Try positioning yourself to hit your allies with its return trip.
  • Lucent Singularity is a great scouting tool. Try throwing it into brush before walking into it to check for ambushes.

Playing Against Ahri

  • Ahri's survivability is dramatically reduced when her Ultimate, Spirit Rush, is down.
  • Stay behind minions to make Charm difficult to land, this will reduce Ahri's damage potential significantly.
