Strength by game phase

Lucian's abilities

Passive, spells and ultimate

Lightslinger (P)

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.

Playing as Ezreal

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Land as many Qs as you can

    Land Mystic Shot (Q) as often as you can: each hit lowers all your cooldowns and adds a Rising Spell Force (passive) stack.

  2. Detonate the orb with a spell

    Detonate Essence Flux (W) with a spell rather than an auto: the orb deals its damage either way, but a spell refunds its mana cost plus a bonus.

  3. Save your E to escape

    Save Arcane Shift (E) to escape unless the kill is certain: it's your only way to reposition, on a 26 to 14 second cooldown.

  4. Finish across the map

    Cast Trueshot Barrage (R) across the map to finish a fleeing target: it hits everything in its line, but deals less to minions and non-epic monsters.

Playing against Lucian

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Punish his dash

    Punish him after an aggressive dash: Relentless Pursuit (E) has a 16 to 14 second cooldown, only reduced when his double shots hit.

  2. Step back after each burst

    Back off after each of his spells: Lightslinger (passive) doubles the next auto, so his damage comes in short bursts.

  3. Poke him from outside his range

    If your attack range beats his 500 units, poke him from outside it: he then has to use Relentless Pursuit (E) to get back on you.

  4. Drag the game out

    If you survive the laning phase, play for time: Lucian is strongest early and loses impact once everyone has their items.
