Is Lux better when played alongside Kalista?

There is no universally accepted best champion pairing for Lux that will always be her top ally. However, Kalista is a relatively poor companion for Lux. By playing on the same side as Lux, she decreases their win rate by -2.1% to 47.7%. This clearly indicates that there is a harmful bond between Lux and Kalista that allows them to perform worse together than alone.

Kalista has a greater difficulty than Lux. That means Lux players need to be very careful when arranging Kalista allies to play with, as they will require a greater level of skill to do well with you.

Fighting cooperatively, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magical damage. Combined, these champs can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

In contrast, by grouping Lux and Kalista together, you probably will not be giving your side a great deal of engage potential. We recommend you pick other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative hole in this pairing's capabilities.

Regardless of your Kalista ally's ability, you need to focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well, regardless.
