ABILITIES

Lightslinger
PassiveLightslinger

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.

Piercing Light
QPiercing Light

Lucian shoots a bolt of piercing light through a target.

Ardent Blaze
WArdent Blaze

Lucian shoots a missile that explodes in a star shape, marking and briefly revealing enemies. Lucian gains Move Speed for attacking marked enemies.

Relentless Pursuit
ERelentless Pursuit

Lucian quickly dashes a short distance. Lightslinger attacks reduce Relentless Pursuit's cooldown.

The Culling
RThe Culling

Lucian unleashes a torrent of shots from his weapons.

PLAYING ASLucian
  • 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 AGAINSTLucian
  • 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.

CROWD CONTROL

Lucian has no notable hard crowd control.
