| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ziggs | Ziggs' L1 Q outranges Lucian's dash-in combo so you poke free. |
| Level 2 | Ziggs | At 2 you still zone his short entry range with Q. |
| Level 3 | Ziggs | Level 3 E covers his only gap-close lane, keeping you ahead. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ziggs | Maxed Q chunks him before he can commit a dash. |
| Level 6 | Lucian | Level 6 is Lucian's burst window with double-Doran's and Vigilance. |
| First item | Lucian | His first-item all-in spike out-trades your kit at even health. |
| Two+ items | Ziggs | At full items you outrange and W-peel his short-range pattern. |
You control levels 1-4 with Q range: Lucian's damage lives inside dash range and you simply throw Bouncing Bomb over the minions and step back. Lay E-Hexplosive Minefield on your own flank so his only gap-close angle is covered in slows.
