Strategic Tips
Economy
Reach 50 gold, then slow roll at level 7 with only the excess until Vayne are 3-starred.
Itemization
Build Blue Buff, Jeweled Gauntlet, and Longshot Emblem on Lux.
When to pivot
Scout at 2-1 and 3-2: if two or more players hold your core units, or you haven't found any by 3-2, move into one of the comps on the Similar Comps tab instead of forcing Demacia Lux.
