How to play

Rod of Ages Build specific
  1. Playing Rod of Ages Lux, your default rush is of course - Rod of Ages. You want to stack its passive as early as possible.
  2. Rod of Ages gives sustain with its second Passive. It recovers both health and mana.
  3. You can play this build very safely. Sustain from Rod of Ages alone is very powerful in ARAM. If you want to sustain even harder, you can get Kaenic Rookern (anti poke), Spirit Visage (more sustain) or even get Second Wind rune from Resolve.
  4. In cases, when an enemy team is full of tanks and HP stackers and you need to counter them, go Liandry's Torment.
  5. Adapt to an enemy team. They full of tanks and they rush MR? You rush Void Staff as #2 or #3 item. Their team is Soraka, Mundo or champs with healing? Rush Oblivion Orb as #2 item (upgrade to Morellonomicon as 4th or 5th item). They stack HP? You buy Liandry's Torment.
  6. Somebody is going after you each fight? Their assassins are focusing you on sight? Always getting R by Fizz? Rush Zhonya's Hourglass.
  7. Good MR item that works well with Rod of Ages is Spirit Visage and Kaenic Rookern.

Tips and Tricks

General
  1. You can use E for scouting and bush control.
  2. Lux is great at countering pushes. You can use E to stop enemy minions from afar, and you can clear them with E + R if needed.
  3. If you are playing more support oriented Lux, you can be more useful to not detonave your E instantly - it keeps applying AoE slow triggering Font of Life effect as well as items like Imperial Mandate.
  4. Look for enemies that are hiding behind a single minion. You can catch unsuspecting enemies with your Q (second part).
Riot
  1. Lux has great zone control abilities. Try to set up Lucent Singularity to prevent an enemy's advance or escape.
  2. 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.
  3. Lucent Singularity is a great scouting tool. Try throwing it into brush before walking into it to check for ambushes.
