Tips for Playing as Varus with Lux
Try to take advantage of Piercing Arrow's very long range to snipe at enemy champions before a fight or as they're trying to flee.
An early point in Blighted Quiver helps harass enemy champions and get killing blows on minions.
During short range fights it's sometimes best to fire Piercing Arrow quickly, rather than charging it to full power.
Advice to Understand How Lux Will Play
If you have trouble landing Prismatic Barrier, remember that it returns to you after it reaches max range. Try positioning yourself to hit your allies with its return trip.
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.

Is Varus better when played alongside Lux?

By locking into the same side as Varus, she lowers their win rate by -0.5% to 47.9%. This shows that there is only a small bond between Varus and Lux that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.
Lux has a greater difficulty than Varus. That means Varus players need to be very careful when arranging Lux teammates to fight alongside, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.
Fighting cooperatively, Varus players should see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magic damage. When paired, these champs can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.
Conversely, by aligning Varus and Lux together, you probably will not be providing your team very much protection for burst damage. Plan to have other champions on your team that nullifies this gap in this pairing's abilities.
Regardless of your Lux ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
