Lunox gets the ultimate skill in the Darkening status. When the ultimate skill is on, she could use Chaos Assault with no limit for 4s. Learning how to cast Chaos Assault as many as possible makes you a good Lunox user.
Lunox gets the ultimate skill in Brilliance status. When the skill is on, Lunox is invincible for 3s. The extremely short cast time of the skill could help Lunox escape most directional skills if you are fast enough.
Dreamland Twist
Lunox is twisted by the powers of Chaos and Order. When Lunox uses (Power of Order), she gains 1% Spell Vamp for every 1% (Magic Penetration). When Lunox uses (Power of Chaos), she gains 1% (Magic Penetration) for every 1% of Spell Vamp.

CD effects provided by Enchanted Talisman greatly boosts passive of Lunox. It also provides bonus magic Pen and defense. Holy Crystal increases her burst, allowing her to deal tons of damage in a short time. Fleeting Time reduces CD of Lunox’s ultimates when she kills or assists, which is important as Lunox is very ultimate-dependent. Lightning Truncheon is important to improve Lunox’s damage dealt as it reduces CD and boosts burst. Blood Wings is the best equipment for Lunox as it makes it possible for her to defend and attack freely. Due to its high price, you are suggested to buy it as the last one of your build.

Lunox could only protect herself for a short moment. Stable damage dealer with ability to blink are great threats to her.
