Playing as Lucian

  • For optimal burst, try to combine Relentless Pursuit into Piercing Light.
  • Ardent Blaze actually explodes in a star pattern. Try to line it up so the spokes hit enemy champions.
  • Once you have chosen an angle for The Culling, you cannot change it. Pick your moment well!
  • Because of Lightslinger, Lucian benefits more from Attack Damage than he does from Attack Speed.

Playing against Lucian

  • Lucian has strong burst, but little sustained damage.
  • Lucian cannot change the aim of The Culling. Take advantage of this by avoiding the angle of the bullets.
  • Piercing Light does not give Lucian extra Attack Range. He still needs to find a target in range to line up his shot. Avoid Piercing Light by anticipating the angle Lucian will choose.
