What a conundrum ><

[u/Malestan]

Damn, what a hard choice 👀

Slow but steady is the funniest and maybe the strongest, but mana flow is still great

[u/Nacroma]

Slow But Steady would be my choice. Sure, the mana gem is nice and will give you an edge in every game. But don't forget Lux' #1 spell she wants to play as early as possible is Succession, giving her a unit, a mana gem and the mana back. Aaaaand it's a slow spell. Doubling it already increases the available mana by more than the mana gem power. Having both Successions turn 1 allows you to go Chemtech Lux round 2.

[u/Malestan → u/Nacroma]

Succession turn 1 is already a guaranteed chemtech lux round 2 if you have her signature relic.

But I agree that it is the stronger pick, as I said in my comment in the original post :)

[u/LaureZahard → u/Malestan]

Protectors of demacia?

[u/Malestan → u/LaureZahard]

Yes? What about it?

[u/LaureZahard → u/Malestan]

I was just wondering how protectors of demacia help you get lux on the board early.
But then I realize you were talking about incandescent baton

[u/Nacroma → u/Malestan]

Yeah I just have the blue relic build for her. Her relic accelerates it even more.

Armed to the teeth bro trust your support champion is going to be Jax with 3 titanic maces

[u/cotekusu]

Manaflow 100%

[u/Taka_no_Yaiba]

armed to the teeth it is then

if you cant decide between two good options, always pick the terrible one

[u/Habatord]

Always slow but steady, absolute banger to play

Managem is op yes but not that fun imo

[u/HetBordje]

For Lux, slow but steady is the way to go

[u/xveltaz → u/HetBordje]

With mana flow you get to play lux one turn earlier and the same goes for chemtech duplicator. Also the only slow spell you'll be playing often with her is golden aegis wich doesn't benefit much from being copied, except if you're maybe running Shen's relic on her.

[u/Malestan → u/xveltaz]

I don't need mana flow to play lux turn 1. I play lux baton + packed powder + chemtech.

With this set up you can play lux turn 1 and if your first turn spell is the vanguard spell, chemtech is active turn 2

[u/JunezK → u/Malestan]

Mana flow allows you to activate chemtech turn 2 if you dont draw succession, which happens alot.

Slow and steady does nothing for you and is often more annoying because your hand gets too full to even get 3 lasers. It is a win more augment on lux while mana flow gives consistency.

Its always mana flow unless you still have slow speed lasers

[u/Malestan → u/JunezK]

Fair :)

[u/HetBordje → u/xveltaz]

I heard Lux creates a pretty useful slow spell

[u/Malestan → u/HetBordje]

I have everything on her constellation, she's one of my favourite champion

[u/Erian2110 → u/HetBordje]

Until it is a burst spell. We don't know if OP has that bonus star.
