How to beat Lucian

Common role: ADC / Mid

A lane-bully marksman who out-trades early and falls off late.

What makes Lucian dangerous

Lucian double-taps with his passive after every ability, dashes with E to reposition, fires a piercing Q, and unloads a barrage ultimate. In the early game he out-trades almost anyone; his goal is to snowball the lane before his damage falls off.

How to play against Lucian

• 1Scale past him: he is weakest in the late game, so survive lane and out-scale.
• 2Don't trade into his passive; step back after he uses an ability to deny the double shot.
• 3Punish his E cooldown — after he dashes he is briefly stuck and killable.
• 4Sustain his poke and avoid his Q line to blunt his lane bully phase.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Falls off hard in the late game.
• ✓Short range for a marksman; vulnerable to longer-range poke.
• ✓Needs a peel or engage support; struggles alone into hard CC.
• ✓Mana-hungry when spamming his combo.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Lucian's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Işık Silahşoru

  Lucian bir yetenek kullandığında, sonraki saldırısı çift vuruş olur. Bir takım arkadaşından kalkan veya iyileştirme edindiğinde ya da yakınındaki bir rakip şampiyon hareketsiz bırakıldığında sonraki 2 normal saldırısıyla ilave büyü hasarı verir.

  Strong: fires a second shot after every ability, doubling his trade damage. Weak: step back after he casts to deny the second shot's value.

• Q
  Işık Atışı

  Lucian, hedefini delip geçen bir ışık huzmesi fırlatır.

  Strong: a piercing line that pokes through minions. Weak: easy to block with the minion wave — stand behind creeps to eat none of it.

• W
  İntikam Ateşi

  Lucian'ın yaptığı atış, yıldız şeklinde bir patlama yaratarak rakipleri işaretler ve kısa süreliğine açığa çıkarır. Lucian işaretli rakiplere saldırdığında hareket hızı kazanır.

  Strong: marks you and grants him move speed for the chase. Weak: a slow skillshot — dodge it to deny the speed and his engage.

• E
  Amansız Takip

  Lucian hızlıca atılarak kısa bir mesafeyi geçer. Işık Silahşoru saldırıları, Amansız Takip'in bekleme süresini azaltır.

  Strong: a dash that resets when he hits marked targets, keeping him slippery. Weak: after it he's briefly grounded — collapse in that moment.

• R
  İnfaz

  Lucian, silahlarıyla bir saldırı yağmuru gerçekleştirir.

  Strong: a barrage of shots that shreds a target in seconds. Weak: he stands still and fires in one direction — dash aside or block with a body.

Itemization

Survive his early spike and out-scale. Long-range poke and hard CC in lane blunt him; late game, health and armor make his falloff decisive.
