Lucian is a powerful lane bully marksman who excels at aggressive early-game play. His high burst damage potential makes him especially effective when paired with engage supports, though he works well with most support types thanks to his passive.

Core Strengths:

• Strong lane dominance
• High burst damage
• Versatile support synergy
• Strong all-in potential

Key Weaknesses:

• Short attack range
• Mechanically demanding
• Vulnerable to poke

Ability Order:

1. Q - Piercing Light (Max first)
2. E - Relentless Pursuit (Max second)
3. W - Piercing Shot (Max last)

Key Combos:

• Basic Trade: AA-Q-AA
• Engage Combo: E->W(mid-dash)->AA->Q->AA
• Full Damage Combo: AA-E-AA-Q-AA-W-AA-R-AA-Q-AA-E-AA

Ability Tips:

• Q provides wave clear and poke
• E allows repositioning and cooldown resets with passive
• W marks targets for movement speed bonus
• R can be used for long-range burst or combo finisher

Combat Strategy:

1. Use abilities between auto-attacks to maximize passive
2. Cancel auto-attack animations with abilities
3. Use E to dodge skills while engaging
4. Weave passive shots between abilities
5. Position aggressively but safely due to short range

Build Path:

• Starting: Standard ADC items
• Core: Focus on AD, attack speed, and crit
• Late Game: Add armor penetration and lifesteal
• Need minimum 4 items for full potential

Laning Phase:

• Look for early level 2 advantage
• Trade aggressively when abilities are up
• Coordinate with support for all-ins
• Mind positioning due to short range
• Use W to secure difficult CS from range
