Playing as Lucian
Tips to maximize your impact
- Weave an auto between spells
Weave an auto between each spell: Lightslinger (passive) turns it into a double shot, and each shot that hits lowers the cooldown of Relentless Pursuit (E).
- Attack after your support helps
Attack right after an ally's heal or shield, or a nearby enemy getting immobilized: Lightslinger (passive) then empowers your next 2 autos.
- R on an immobilized target
Cast The Culling (R) on a target your team has immobilized: each shot hits the first enemy in its path, and you can use Relentless Pursuit (E) while firing.
- Get ahead early
Look for trades and kills early on: Lucian is strongest early, and his impact drops once the other marksmen have their items.
Playing against Corki
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Don't count on your minions
Don't count on your minions against Missile Barrage (R): each missile explodes on impact and damages enemies around it, you included.
- Leave his Gatling cone
Get out of the Gatling Gun (E) cone rather than trading inside it: it lowers your armor and magic resist while it fires.
- Avoid brushes hit by his bomb
Don't rely on a brush hit by Phosphorus Bomb (Q): the area and the champions hit stay revealed for a few seconds.
- Engage after his dash
If you can engage, wait until Valkyrie (W) or Special Delivery is used: he's then vulnerable, with no way to reposition.
