## How to play against Lucian

Lane and teamfight rules that hold regardless of your pick.

### In lane and in teamfights

- Respect his short trade burst after he dashes forward. Punish the cooldown by extending the trade once E is down.

- Force objective fights when he must walk into range instead of hitting freely from mid wave. Deny quick picks by keeping vision on flank brushes and lane entrances.

- Outrange his first dash with a staggered formation and save peel for his forward E. Collapse after he spends R or dashes into a short lane.

## Where Lucian is weak

Exploit these in draft and in lane.

- Lucian's short range forces him into danger, so longer-range carries and peel can deny his damage uptime.

- Lucian spends his dash to create burst windows, leaving him punishable if the first trade fails.
