Lux has great zone control abilities. Try to set up Lucent Singularity to prevent an enemy's advance or escape.

Lucent Singularity is a great scouting tool. Try throwing it into brush before walking into it to check for ambushes.

Advice to Understand How Zed Will Play

How to Play with Zed as Lux in LoL

The Lux Zed synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Zed, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Lux sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Zed. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Zed helps Lux perform worse in ranked LoL rounds. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is only marginal.

When Lux is paired with Zed, she sees a barely noticable drop in her complete damage dealt. This change could demonstrate that Zed doesn't help cover for her to deal more damage or that his allyship also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Lux is played together with Zed on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays without Zed. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Zed.

Moreover, when Lux plays with Zed on the same side, she often takes a little more damage than when she plays alone. Getting dealt more damage may indicate that Zed does a poor job of protecting Lux in teamfights.

Is Lux better when played alongside Zed?

There is no universally accepted best synergy for Lux that will always be her ideal synergy. Yet, Zed is a below average companion for Lux. By playing on the same side as Lux, he lowers their win rate by -1.9% to 47.9%. This shows that there is a harmful synergy between Lux and Zed that results in them performing not as well together than alone.

Zed has a greater difficulty than Lux. That means Lux players should be cautious when finding Zed allies to play with, as they will require a greater level of skill to be able to fight well with you.

Fighting cooperatively, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to destroy wih physical damage. Together, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Conversely, by aligning Lux and Zed together, you probably will not be providing your other teammates very much engage. Make sure to pick other champions on your team that offsets this gap in their capabilities.

Regardless of your Zed ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
