Lucian Mid and Late Game

What Lucian does better or worse than other champions after laning, from this patch's ranked games — percentiles where 100 is the highest of every champion.

Play to these strengths

Lucian farms well (percentile 94): keep catching side waves between fights.
Lucian is a main damage source (80/100): stay alive and in range for the whole fight rather than diving first.
Lucian wins 13.3 points more in long games than short ones: avoid coin-flip fights early and let the game go long.

Mistakes to avoid

Vision is a weak spot (15/100): buy Control Wards and sweep before you face-check.

Playing Lucian

For optimal burst, try to combine Relentless Pursuit into Piercing Light.
Ardent Blaze actually explodes in a star pattern. Try to line it up so the spokes hit enemy champions.
Once you have chosen an angle for The Culling, you cannot change it. Pick your moment well!
Because of Lightslinger, Lucian benefits more from Attack Damage than he does from Attack Speed.

Playing Against Lucian

Lucian has strong burst, but little sustained damage.
Lucian cannot change the aim of The Culling. Take advantage of this by avoiding the angle of the bullets.
Piercing Light does not give Lucian extra Attack Range. He still needs to find a target in range to line up his shot. Avoid Piercing Light by anticipating the angle Lucian will choose.
