Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1FioraHis level-1 single Q loses to a Q-into-Vital proc — step up and trade while his Lightslinger has no autos to chain.
Level 2LucianOnce he rounds out Piercing Light, Ardent Blaze and a low-CD Relentless Pursuit dash, he pokes and kites your Lunge out of all-in range.
Level 3FioraChaining Lunges off Vital procs plus your passive heal out-sustains his Q poke before his full combo exists.
Levels 4-5LucianLevels 4-5 give him through-minion poke, a move-speed mark, and an E dash to peel every Lunge you throw — he chips you out.
Level 6Even / skillFirst item is a coinflip — your bruiser-crit all-in trades evenly with his poke-and-dash kite; whoever lands their commit wins.
First itemFioraGrand Challenge marks all four Vitals and the heal zone eats his Culling; pin him on a wall so the E dash can't break the execute (no parry-stun here).
Two+ itemsLucianTwo items hand him the lane — Lightslinger and attack speed kite your Vital chase and out-DPS the R zone while he resets E to reload.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Levels 1-3 are your window. Lucian only has Piercing Light and his Lightslinger double-shot, and without autos to chain it his early trade is thin, so step up, Q to the marked side for the true-damage Vital chunk, and take the heal. Bait his Q poke, then Lunge in on the Vital side; your passive heal makes his early all-ins unprofitable. Hold Riposte for actual damage — it blocks his burst and slows him, but note it will NOT stun him, since Lucian has no immobilizing ability to parry. Don't chase past the minion line into Ardent Blaze range, that's where his move-speed kite starts.
