With Aery you can proc it repeatedly in lane for poke damage as well as defensively in teamfights for an even bigger shield.
Manaflow Band
Hitting an enemy champion with an ability permanently increases your maximum mana by 25, up to 250 mana.
After reaching 250 bonus mana, restore 1% of your missing mana every 5 seconds.
Cooldown: 15 secondsWhy?
Manaflow Band is a great option for Lux when you are looking to do a lot of poking in the early game. Lux's [E] is one of the highest mana cost spells in the game and if you use it when Manaflow is up you'll sustain a lot more poke than you would otherwise be able to.
Absolute Focus
While above 70% health, gain an
adaptive bonus of up to 18 Attack Damage or 30 Ability Power (based on level).
Grants 1.8 Attack Damage or 3 Ability Power at level 1.Why?

Scorch
Your next damaging ability hit sets champions on fire dealing 20 - 40 bonus magic damage based on level after 1s.

Scorch's early game poke damage lets you set yourself up for level 6 kill threat and provide pressure during the laning phase.
Biscuit Delivery

Biscuits restore 12% of your missing health. Consuming or selling a Biscuit permanently increases your max health by 30.Why?
Biscuit Delivery greats you reliable and strong sustain, especially in close all-in lane fights where the last minute healing can pay off big and help you survive.
Magical Footwear
You get free Slightly Magical Footwear at 12 min, but you cannot buy boots before then. For each takedown you acquire the boots 45s sooner.
Slightly Magical Footwear grants you an additional10 Move Speed .Why?
Magical Footwear's gold-efficiency is great for mid-game fights where the extra 300g can be the difference between completing an important item.
Light Them Up
Arcane Comet

Cooldown: 20 - 8s
Cooldown Reduction:
Single Target: 20%.
Area of Effect: 10%.
