The Xerath versus Lux matchup as support is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
The magic damage that Xerath deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Lux deals primarily magic damage (87.17%), additional magic resistance may be required.
An important advantage of Xerath is superior vision control (ranked 9th among supports) (versus 48th for Lux), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.4 versus 2.6) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Xerath player to maintain constant pressure on Lux, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
