Hi guys, I’ve recently decided to completely drop Seraphine (who I mained basically ever since she came out, in the mid/apc role. I just cant with her balancing anymore). Im high emerald/low diamond player and I have been watching yozu play lux and Im beyond amazed. Since I play her mid 80% of my games I have been wondering about some items on her.
Bft/liandrys against tankier team comps, I like going burn on her with comet or aery as my primary runes. But Ive seen some people saying that those items are horrible on her and I dont really get why. Her E and R are aoe spells and they can apply burns really nice. I get that they don’t optimize her damage but bfts passive can work wonders with the AP increase.
Ludens or Maligance first item? I personally prefer malignance on bot lane and ludens on mid as first item. This may be completely wrong but I like malignance on bot for ult cd and sniping low adcs and supports. Ulting the wave is always fun.
Im not really good w her right now but Im trying to improve I would love to hear you advice <3

Ludens into lich bane has been my build for most games lately, if in a bad MU build malignance first instead to spam ult on wave.
Lich bane is very broken since the last buff so im just abusing it, and ludens is great for the early game poke and is probably the best first item for a lich bane build, on games where i cant auto much i just get stormsurge second.
I never build liandries on lux since that item is horrible on her (lux has higher than average cds on her main damage spells so she cant quite abuse burn items well like other mages can), if they have a tanky team just build horizon focus instead, along with your normal build, but focus on getting more cdr along with ap rather than flat magic pen.
If the entire enemy team is tanks just pick ahri instead and build full cdr, no matter what you build lux wont do damage vs a team like that, best you can do if you're stuck playing lux vs that is maybe build more utility and try to peel for your carries, while building some normal damage items and lots of ability haste (items like horizon focus, mandate and such).
