His passive (Lightslinger) doubles your autos after each spell — always weave spell → 2 autos → spell → 2 autos for maximum DPS.
The burst combo is E (dash) → auto → Q → auto → W → auto — each spell procs two autos.
R (The Culling) fires in a line and can be aimed — use it after an ally engages for massive damage on a CC'd target.
Lucian is a lane bully: abuse your strong early game to build a lead before you scale off.

Playing against Lucian
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Lucian is short range (500) — longer-range ADCs outrange him (Caitlyn, Jinx, Ashe).
His E has a long cooldown early: punish him after he dashes offensively.
Lucian scales worse than most ADCs — if you survive his early game, you win in late game.
Avoid short trades: his passive double auto makes him very strong in short bursts. Trade long or not at all.
