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.
