Lucian Counters

The greatest picks globally to counter Lucian include Nidalee, Sejuani, and Gragas. These champions are all good at countering Lucian with decent win rates over 58%. Even if these Lucian counter picks are not taken opposite your position, it's not a good idea to take him into any of these matchups. They will often win against Lucian.

Conversely, if the opposing team choses either Teemo or Maokai, you should strongly consider selecting him, as he easily beats these champs with win rates over 54% against both ofthem.

Take advantage of Lucian's vulnerability when his E ability is down. This makes him susceptible to attacks, especially if you're coordinating with your jungler.

Lucian relies on items to succeed in the game. If you manage to set him back during the early game, he struggles to contribute significantly in the late game stages.

Lucian's power degrades over time. So, if the game is prolonged, Lucian's effectiveness reduces significantly. This means you should structure your game strategy to last longer.

Lucian has a significant power spike at level two with his E, Q combo. Be prepared for this aggressive offensive and try to get to level two first for a favourable trade.

He manages to clear waves fast with his W, Q and Ultimate abilities. This makes him gain priority faster helping him secure objectives. You need to watch out for this and counteract quick enough.

Lucian if ahead during the early game can snowball if not checked. To prevent this, ensure you keep an eye on his early game progress.

Lucian tends to be very good during the mid-game. This is when he is most powerful and able to quickly eliminate squishy targets. Position yourself strategically during the mid-game to counter his power.
