Laning Phase Strategy:

  • Avoid his Q poke through minion waves
  • Play defensively in early game to prevent his snowball
  • Engage when his E (dash) is on cooldown
  • Match his level 2 timing to prevent all-in attempts
  • First wave + 3 melee minions from second wave = level 2

Teamfight Tactics:

  • Wait for Lucian to use E before applying CC
  • Disengage or use CC to interrupt his Ultimate
  • Punish aggressive positioning when he steps forward to auto-attack
  • Focus him down when he mispositions

Key Power Spikes to Watch:

  • Level 2: Strong all-in potential
  • Level 6: Increased trading power from Ultimate
  • E cooldown: Strongest when dash is available

Counter Champions Matchups: Hard Counter: Draven, Kog'Maw Average Matchup: Seraphine, Swain Easy Matchup: Ashe

Remember: Lucian excels in early game trades and burst damage. Success against him relies on proper positioning, cooldown tracking, and careful wave management.
