Laning Phase Tips:

  • Watch for Lucian's Q through minion wave poke
  • Play defensively early game to prevent snowball
  • Engage when his E (dash) is on cooldown
  • Contest level 2 timing to avoid his power spike
  • First wave + 3 melee minions from second wave = level 2

Mid-Late Game Strategy:

  • Wait for Lucian to use E before using crowd control
  • Disengage or interrupt his Ultimate channel
  • Punish aggressive positioning when he steps up to auto-attack
  • Track his E cooldown for engagement opportunities

Key Power Spike Windows:

  • Level 2: Very strong all-in potential
  • Level 6: Gains significant trading power with Ultimate
  • E cooldown: Major vulnerability window when dash is down

Teamfight Approach:

  • Focus him down when E is on cooldown
  • Save CC abilities for after he uses dash
  • Position to minimize Ultimate damage
  • Coordinate burst damage during his vulnerable windows

Remember: Lucian excels in early game trades but becomes more manageable if denied early advantages. Focus on surviving early and punishing cooldown windows.
