How to win lane as Heimerdinger against Lucian · 52.83% win rate over 159 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Heimerdinger | Even though the chart is yours overall, level 1 is your weakest window since no turret is down and Lucian's double-shot poke can trade into you, but you hold parity by farming safely behind minions. |
| Level 2 | Heimerdinger | At level 2 you start banking Q charges and W rockets to zone, tilting the trade math your way before Lucian can snowball his Passive. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | By level 3 your turret nest and E stun-slow out-zone Lucian's dash-in range, giving you clear lane control. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | Through levels 4-5 stacked turrets plus grenade make every Lucian short-trade a net loss for him, so you stay ahead. |
| Level 6 | Heimerdinger | At level 6 UPGRADE!!! rockets and AoE grenade beat his Culling channel whenever CC lands, keeping the edge yours. |
| First item | Heimerdinger | Your first item lets turrets shove and siege for free, denying Lucian the reset lane he needs. |
| Two+ items | Heimerdinger | In the 2+ item teamfight your pre-placed turret walls zone his dash-resets, so the late game stays Heimerdinger-favoured. |
At levels 1-2 Lucian's Passive double-shot and Q want a poke target, but you have no turret uptime yet, so hug your caster minions and only place Q defensively; he can chunk you if you walk up to CS by hand, so tag melees with W rockets from max range and don't feed his Lightslinger rhythm.
