Press the Attack, Presence of Mind, Legend: Bloodline, and Coup de Grace form Lucian's primary rune path. Take Biscuit Delivery and Magical Footwear as secondary runes. For shards, choose Attack Speed, Adaptive Force, and Health Scaling.

Core Items:

  • First Item: Essence Reaver
  • Boots: Ionian Boots of Lucidity
  • Second Item: Navori Flickerblade
  • Third Item: Infinity Edge
  • Fourth Item: Lord Dominik's Regards
  • Final Item: Guardian Angel

Skill Order: Q > E > W

Key Tips:

  • Use your passive effectively by auto-attacking between abilities
  • Save E (dash) when enemies have CC abilities
  • Secure level 2 advantage from first wave + 3 melee minions
  • Trade aggressively with double-shot passive

Strong Against:

  • Tristana (54.6% WR)
  • Twitch (54.1% WR)
  • Aphelios (53.6% WR)
  • Zeri (52.9% WR)

Weak Against:

  • Swain (43.0% WR)
  • Nilah (44.6% WR)
  • Sivir (45.1% WR)
  • Miss Fortune (45.1% WR)

Best Support Synergies:

  • Nautilus (53.3% WR)
  • Yuumi (53.3% WR)
  • Tahm Kench (52.2% WR)
  • Milio (52.1% WR)

Alternative Build: For an off-meta approach with 54.6% winrate, use First Strike as keystone with Essence Reaver > Navori Flickerblade > Infinity Edge core build path.

This build maintains a 51.0% overall winrate across 5,122 matches in the current patch.
