Track: Lucian's E — Relentless Pursuit (16–14s cooldown). His dash — lock him down while it is on cooldown.
Read from Ashe's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Lucian.
This is Ashe's own plan; across 22,738 pooled games the lane is leaning Ashe.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ashe | Level 1 favours you because W and Frost Shot slow Lucian out of his double-tap range immediately. |
| Level 2 | Ashe | Level 2 stays yours as a second point in W lets you win any poke exchange while he's chilled. |
| Level 3 | Ashe | Level 3 is yours because Q's steroid turns your slow-locked trades into a clear damage lead. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are even as Lucian's ramping burst offsets your slow-based control. |
| Level 6 | Lucian | Level 6 flips to Lucian because Culling plus his E blender all-ins through your slow and you can't escape. |
| First item | Lucian | First item favours Lucian since his Lightslinger double-shot and dash resets win short trades before you can peel. |
| Two+ items | Ashe | Two-plus items swings back to you as permaslow and R let you kite him out of dash range and chain CC. |
You own levels 1-3: W (Volley) plus Frost Shot means every poke slows Lucian, denying the spacing he needs to land his double-tap Passive, and Q shreds him in any extended exchange. Zone him off CS by threatening W when he steps into range. Relentless Pursuit is a 16-second cooldown at rank 1 and he will spend it aggressively to land a Piercing Light. That spent dash is your window: slow him, stack Ranger's Focus and walk forward with your support. Keep the wave from crashing into his tower so he never gets a free reset.
