Lucian Counters

Learn 's counters and discover matchups where they have an advantage!

Lucian's Abilities

Guides Builds Counters Skins Abilities Q&A To Top

Lightslinger Lucian's Passive

Self

After using an ability, Lucian's next basic attack within 3 seconds shoots twice, the second shot dealing 50 / 55 / 60% attack damage in physical damage (depending on level), increased to 100% attack damage against minions.

The second shot applies on-hits and on-attack effects at full effect and can critically strike for 75% bonus physical damage.

If Lucian's primary target is killed before the second shot can go off, he automatically shoots another enemy in range.

Piercing Light Lucian's Q Ability

1000

50 / 60 / 70 / 80 / 90

9 / 8 / 7 / 6 / 5

After a 0.4-0.25 second delay (based on level), Lucian fires a laser in the direction of the target enemy, dealing 95 / 130 / 165 / 200 / 235 (+0.6 / 0.75 / 0.9 / 1.05 / 1.2 per bonus attack damage) physical damage to all enemies in a line.

Ardent Blaze Lucian's W Ability

900

14 / 13 / 12 / 11 / 10

Lucian fires a shot that explodes upon hitting an enemy or reaching the end of its path, damaging enemies in a cross pattern for 75 / 110 / 145 / 180 / 215 (+90% AP) magic damage and marking enemies hit for 6 seconds.

If Lucian or any of his allies damage a marked target with their basic attacks or abilities, Lucian gains 60 / 65 / 70 / 75 / 80 flat movement speed bonus for 1 second. This does not consume the mark.

Relentless Pursuit Lucian's E Ability

425

22 / 20 / 18 / 16 / 14

Lucian dashes a short distance. Relentless Pursuit's cooldown is reduced by 1 second per Lightslinger (passive) hit, doubles against enemy champions (2 second reduction per hit, 4 seconds total for a full passive proc).

The Culling Lucian's Ultimate (R) Ability

1200

100

110 / 100 / 90 / 90 / 90

Lucian starts firing 22 / 28 / 34 shots in the target direction for 3 seconds, each shot dealing 20 / 40 / 60 (+0.25 per attack damage) (+10% of ability power) physical damage to the first enemy it hits. The Culling is considered a channeled ability and it can be interrupted, but Lucian can move freely (including movement abilities) without interrupting it himself.

Reactivate The Culling to cancel the ability early.

The Culling deals double damage to minions.

Crits on wierd ADC's

Asked by BlackRoseGirl on May 14, 2020

So, for these champions how do crits work? How do Infinity Edge Crits work? I figure for something like a Jinx Rocket Launcher or Senna Relic Cannon Crit, It would take the AD ratio (110 or 120) and just double it (220 or 240). I don't know tho....
