Lucian Matchups Overview

Lucian General information

Lucian tips and tricks

Get level 2 first which is the first minion wave followed by 1 melee minion on the second wave. Use your level advantage to play aggressive and get an early health advantage.

If the enemy has CC or engage tools, think twice before using your Relentless PursuitE as you’re vulnerable while it’s on cooldown.

After using any ability, try to auto-attack before using your next ability. Thanks to your Passive, you will shoot twice which will help you when trading.
