The magic damage that Lux deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Xerath deals primarily magic damage (92.43%), additional magic resistance may be required.
An important advantage of Lux is superior vision control (ranked 29th among supports) (versus 37th for Xerath), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.6 versus 2.4) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Lux player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Xerath player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach.
