Lucian Champion Abilities

Lightslinger

After using an ability, Lucian's next attack will fire two shots. The second shot deals 50 / 55 / 60% physical damage to the target, increased to 100% against minions.

Vigilance: When Lucian is healed or shielded by an ally, or when a nearby enemy champion is immobilized, his pistols become overcharged with energy, causing his next 2 basic attacks to deal an additional 15 (+0.2 per attack damage) magic damage. P

Piercing Light

Lucian shoots a bolt of piercing light, dealing 85 / 115 / 145 / 175 / 205 (+0.6 / 0.75 / 0.9 / 1.05 / 1.2 per bonus attack damage) physical damage. Q

Ardent Blaze

Lucian fires a shot that explodes at the end of its range or on the first enemy hit, dealing 75 / 110 / 145 / 180 / 215 (+90% of ability power) magic damage, briefly revealing enemies and marking them for 6 seconds.

When Lucian or an ally damages a marked enemy, Lucian gains 60 / 65 / 70 / 75 / 80 for 1 second. Allies triggering this effect will also grant Lucian Vigilance. W

Relentless Pursuit

Lucian dashes. Cooldown is reduced by 1 second whenever Lucian hits an enemy with Lightslinger (2 seconds for champions). E

The Culling

Lucian rapidly fires 22 (+1 per 4% critical strike chance) shots in a direction for 3 seconds or until he recasts. Each shot deals 15 / 30 / 45 (+15% of ability power) (+0.25 per attack damage) physical damage to the first enemy hit. While firing, Lucian may use Relentless Pursuit. R

Lucian Tips and Tricks

If the enemy has CC or engage tools, think carefully before using your E, as you'll be vulnerable while it’s on cooldown. Try to reach level 2 before your opponent by taking the first minion wave and the three melee minions on the second wave. This level advantage allows you to play aggressively and gain an early health lead. After using any ability, be sure to auto-attack before using your next ability. Thanks to your Passive, you'll shoot twice, which can help you when trading damage.

Situational Lucian Runes and Items

Depending on the context of your game, matchup, and enemy champions, you may need to adjust your runes and item choices. Take a moment to evaluate your team, the enemy team, and the game state before finalizing your Lucian build. For example, rune shards such as Armor or Magic Resist may be beneficial depending on your opponent’s damage type in lane.
