[2.3] Lucian Guide - Lucian the Purifier [In-Depth Guide 2.3c]

Start by picking up a Long Sword and head to the red buff or straight to lane when you are on the mirrored side. In the case of the latter it can be a good idea to wait in the bush closest to the enemy turret and attempt a gank. Through all stages of the game keep in mind that Lucian is a champion that starts off powerful and slowly looses his strength. Time is running out so you better make the best of it.

Once the first minions come in and the fight for cs begins you have to make sure that you avoid poke. Fight the enemy or you will loose over time. You are the dangerous guy and make sure your opponent knows that. To make sure you have a great time, try to get an aggressive support Lux , Rakan , Braum , Leona , Senna , Seraphine , Janna to further increase your laning phase.

You shouldn´t run into any problems, make sure to get as many last hits on minions as possible.

Now is your last chance to really ruin the day for your opponent before the first drake fight brakes out. You got your first items B.F. Sword or Vampiric Scepter and it´s time to shine! Deny as many last hits as possible, go in for fights, make their game as hard as possible.

Make sure to keep an eye on the minimap to make sure you know where the enemy jungler is or your jungler. A rule of thumb is to kill one minion and look at the minimap, kill a minion and look on the minimap, kill a minion and look on the minimap....... I´m serious. Your strength is the early game but when you get caught out and die you will loose out SO MUCH by the time you get back to lane

It´s probably smart to go for every drake as Lucian since you are very powerful at the current stage of the game. You got your first item Infinity Edge or Blade of the Ruined King and win basically every 1v1 against the enemy adc. Fight, fight, fight and get the drake.

IF there is zero chance to get the drake because your jungler died or your team doesn´t bother to go to the dragon pit. Consider trading a turret for the Drake but most of the time choosing a fight is the better choice (don´t go run in 1v5) . Wild Rift is a 5v5 game and you will loose no matter how good you are when you just run in without backup

Once you got your core items Infinity Edge , Statikk Shiv and Blade of the Ruined King you are a powerhouse to be feared. Make them fear you! As soon as you have the chance take it. Engage aggressively and keep in mind that your Relentless Pursuit enables you to cross over walls and obstacles. The mid game is your last chance to make a big impact for your team. Keep an eye for the minimap and join every team fight that breakes out.

Make sure to push out your wave if possible before any mayor objective. 

In coordinated teams it can be wise to switch lane (bottom goes top and vise versa] to make sure you and your support are on the objective´s side (rift herald, baron)

Let´s hope you made an impact before this happens if not don´t worry you aren´t useless but you won´t be the same dangerous Lucian you once were. Try to avoid 1v1 if possible but if there is a chance to catch out an enemy it´s probably still worth it.

One of Lucian´s strengths is that he is strong across all stages of the game (just not as much in the late game)

Your item Death´s Dance really gives you an upper hand in sustained fights (longer fights) so utilize this advantage.

You don´t have a large range so you have to get in there. That DOES NOT mean you stick with your front line. But imagine the enemy is trying to catch you but you tease them and run around while killing them. That´s you! Stay close but not too close. You can use your The Culling to deal some damage from range but it won´t be enough probably. Looking out for stunned enemies is a great way to eliminate the first few enemies and then win the upper hand.

Lucian is relatively single targeted to keep that in mind. His Piercing Light however can pierce through targets so use this to finish off that ADC hiding behind their front line.

Make sure to maximize your Lightslinger by frequently using abilities in the fight
