| Stage | Favoured | Why |

| Level 2 | Draven | Your two-axe cadence at level 2 beats his single Piercing Light trade. |
| Level 3 | Draven | At level 3 W-Blood Rush lets you stick and out-DPS before Relentless Pursuit is up. |
| Levels 4-5 | Draven | Through levels 4-5 your sustained axe DPS overwhelms his poke trades. |
| Level 6 | Draven | Even Lucian's level 6 Culling channel loses to your axe rotation plus CC. |
| First item | Draven | Your first-item power turns every caught axe into a kill he can't dash out of. |
| Two+ items | Draven | Adoration stacks give you a raw damage lead that carries into teamfights. |
Level 1-2 you win the auto trade because a caught Spinning Axe hits harder than Lucian's Passive double-tap; stand to catch and don't chase axes into his Piercing Light range.
