When facing Vex's top counters like Lux, Anivia, Brand, consider adjusting your situational items to increase survivability and match their damage output. If counter champions are building high damage, prioritize magic resistance items against AP threats or health-stacking items for general survivability in your situational item slots to reduce burst damage and improve trading potential.

Adapt your final build slots with items like Rabadon's Deathcap or Shadowflame based on which counter champions you're facing and their itemization patterns. Monitor enemy builds and adjust accordingly for optimal Vex performance.
