Quick Answer for Patch 26.20
Trueshot Prodigy
Prismatic
When you damage a champion from far away, fire a Trueshot Barrage at them.
Why on Lux
Light Binding (Q), Lucent Singularity (E) and Final Spark (R) all reach far, so you can hit champions from long range and trigger Trueshot Barrage often.
1
Jeweled Gauntlet
Prismatic
Your Abilities can Critically Strike. Gain Crit Chance.
Why on Lux
Your burst comes from Lucent Singularity (E) and Final Spark (R), so letting those Abilities Critically Strike can make a single combo hit much harder.
2
Skilled Sniper
Gold
Hitting an enemy with a non-Ultimate Ability at far range drastically reduces its Cooldown.
Why on Lux
Hitting Light Binding (Q) or Lucent Singularity (E) at the edge of their range cuts their cooldowns, so you root and poke far more often.
