Lucian's Abilities

Lightslinger Lucian's Passive

Self

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 (+0.15 per attack damage) magic damage.

Piercing Light Lucian's Q Ability

1000

48 / 56 / 64 / 72 / 80

9 / 8 / 7 / 6 / 5

Lucian shoots a bolt of piercing light, dealing 95 / 125 / 155 / 185 / 215 (+0.6 / 0.75 / 0.9 / 1.05 / 1.2 per bonus attack damage) physical damage.

Ardent Blaze Lucian's W Ability

900

14 / 13 / 12 / 11 / 10

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.

Relentless Pursuit Lucian's E Ability

425

19 / 17.75 / 16.5 / 15.25 / 14

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

The Culling Lucian's Ultimate (R) Ability

1200

100

110 / 100 / 90 / 90 / 90

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.
