Overall, Lux sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Karthus. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN.

When Lux tries to synergize with Karthus, she gets a barely noticable drop in her full damage dealt. This difference may indicate that Karthus does not help cover for her to deal more damage or that his presence also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Lux is played alongside Karthus on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays without Karthus. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Karthus.
Moreover, when Lux plays with Karthus on the same side, she on average takes more damage than when she plays alone. Getting dealt more damage could indicate that Karthus does a poor job of protecting Lux in teamfights.

Karthus has a greater difficulty than Lux. That means you need to be very careful when arranging Karthus teammates to fight alongside, as they will require a greater level of skill to work well with you.
When playing on the same side, Lux players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magical damage. Together, these champs are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.
Although, by bringing Lux and Karthus together, you will not be granting your side enough anti-tank damage dealing potential. We recommend you have other champs on your team that fills this relative disparity in this pairing's playstyle.
Regardless of your Karthus ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
