A bully mirror your double-shots tilt — string the tool gaps and dash the answer she saved for it.
Track: Senna's W — Last Embrace (11s cooldown). The root starts every Senna pick and it spreads — stand off your own minions.
Read from Lucian's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Senna.
This is Lucian's own plan; across 19,362 pooled games the lane is Senna-favoured.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lucian | Senna's slow early autos lose to Lucian's Q and Lightslinger. |
| Level 2 | Lucian | Level 2 Piercing Light lets Lucian burst the soul-farming Senna. |
| Level 3 | Lucian | Level 3 Relentless Pursuit gives Lucian an all-in Senna cannot escape. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lucian | Through 4-5 Lucian out-damages an under-stacked Senna. |
| Level 6 | Lucian | At 6 Senna's global ult is no duel answer to Lucian's kill pressure. |
| First item | Lucian | Lucian's first-item spike lands while Senna is still gathering souls. |
| Two+ items | Senna | Late, Senna's stacked range, crit, and Q sustain overtake Lucian. |
You win levels 1-2 clearly: Senna's early autos are slow and weak, so your Piercing Light and Lightslinger double-shot out-trade her while she is forced to focus on soul farming instead of fighting. Her early attack speed is slow enough that every walk-up she makes for a soul is a free exchange for you. Open with the ability, land the shots, and leave. Shove the wave so it dies without her, since starving the soul count is worth more than any single trade you win.
