Lucian the Purifier

Lucian, a Sentinel of Light, is a grim hunter of wraiths and specters, pursuing them relentlessly and annihilating them with his twin relic pistols. After the specter Thresh slew his wife, Lucian embarked on the path of vengeance—but even with her return to life, his rage is undiminished. Merciless and single-minded, Lucian will stop at nothing to protect the living from the long-dead horrors of the Black Mist.

Gameplay Tips

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.
