He has a bit of a tougher time against ranged champions, but is still capable of holding his own.
Lucian is considered a lane bully and can force opponents into taking bad trades which they won’t win. He can also dodge skillshots with Relentless Pursuit, and punish the enemy for missing by trading hard onto them. As a lane bully, Lucian has a great laning phase against most champions.
Team Fights
Lucian can be a big deciding factor in the outcome of a team fight based on how well it’s played. Lucian’s job in a team fight is to deal as much damage as possible to the best targets available to him. In some cases, this can be wailing on the frontline while sliding around the battlefield with Relentless Pursuit, or it can be with a deep dive onto the backline, assassinating a squishier target with the immense burst damage he can output when played correctly.
Lucian Abilities
At the beginning of a match start to skill the ability Piercing Light on Lucian. As the match progresses, it is best to maximise Piercing Light into Relentless Pursuit and at last Ardent Blaze. Piercing Light is a very strong ability of Lucian in order to build up a lead and dominate your opponents. The passive is called Lightslinger and there is no need to set it manually on a Lucian Build.
Whenever Lucian uses an ability, his next attack becomes a double-shot. When Lucian is healed or shielded by an ally, or when a nearby enemy Champion is immobilized, his next 2 basic attacks will deal bonus magic damage.
