How to win lane as K'Sante against Lucian · 48.69% win rate over 2,563 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lucian | Lucian owns level 1 — I have only Q (Ntofo Strikes), no engage, and his passive double-shot plus Q/W poke chip me while I'm stuck farming. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Even at 2 — I pick up W or E and get safer, but he still out-ranges me, so it's a wash on whether he can keep poking without overstepping. |
| Level 3 | K'Sante | My full Q-W combo is online: I W (Path Maker) charge through his E dash and Q3 knockup-pull for the first trade his poke can't answer. |
| Levels 4-5 | K'Sante | I trade around his cooldowns and bank small leads with my bulk — he has to walk into my Q range to CS and eats a W-stun every overstep. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | All Out is a coin-flip at 6 — it wins me the duelist 1v1 if I land W and close, but strips my tankiness if he kites the charge with E. |
| First item | Even / skill | My first tank-engage item makes my W disruption stick and forces side-lane fights, but his sustained poke keeps it a genuine skill window, not a free kill. |
| Two+ items | Lucian | Two-item Lucian's double-shot DPS and E-dash kiting out-trade me once All Out is down and armor stacking does nothing — close before this or peel him in teamfights. |
Lucian owns level 1-2 here — I only have my Q (Ntofo Strikes) cleave and no engage threat, so his passive double-shot and Q/W poke chip me down while I just farm and concede the first level. Don't try to fight under his harass; soak the wave at Q range and stack my passive marks off any auto I can land. The moment that flips is level 3: with my full Q-W combo I can W (Path Maker) charge into him through his E dash and Q3 the knockup-pull for a real trade he can't poke his way out of.
