How to win lane as Kled against Lucian · 56.12% win rate over 670 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lucian | Lucian owns level 1 — his double-shot passive and Q poke chip Skaarl's mount health while Kled has no spammable answer and wants to preserve Courage. |
| Level 2 | Kled | W comes online: the on-hit Jousting shots give Kled a real all-in the moment Lucian commits his E dash to poke. |
| Level 3 | Kled | Full Q-E-W re-E combo is up — trap-slow into yank plus percent-HP Q out-bursts a Lucian who's spent his dash. |
| Levels 4-5 | Kled | Stacked W procs and remount sustain out-trade his lifesteal poke; Kled heals the chip and keeps forcing short trades. |
| Level 6 | Kled | R adds a charge-knockback engage and speed trail Lucian can't kite, letting Kled force the all-in or extend a gank. |
| First item | Kled | Eclipse/Trinity first item is Kled's peak — sheen-empowered W and percent-HP Q blow past his single dash and lifesteal. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | By 2+ items Lucian reclaims the lane: double-dash kiting and Culling out-DPS Kled's frontloaded burst unless he's already snowballed. |
Level 1 is his — his double-shot passive and Q whittle Skaarl's mount health while I have no spammable poke to answer, so I hold Courage and last-hit at range, not the all-in. The lane flips at 2: once W is up the on-hit Jousting shots let me bully, and at 3 the full Q-E-W re-E combo means the instant he burns his E dash to poke I trap him, yank in, and shred him with percent-HP Q. Don't chase a Lucian who still has E and W up — bait the dash first.
