Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1LucianLucian's double-shot passive and Q out-range your single Level-1 ability and chip you before any burn exists — concede the trade and farm Q from distance.
Level 2Even / skillHe still pokes harder, but your second ability starts the kite chain — even skirmish as you layer the E slow into Q.
Level 3LilliaFull Dream Dust burn plus stacking Q move speed means he can't kite you and bleeds every time he walks up to farm.
Levels 4-5LilliaLevels 4-5 are your peak: full Q, compounding DoT and the mana to grind down a no-sustain ADC who has to step into range to CS.
Level 6LilliaLilting Lullaby sleeps a Dream-Dust-soaked Lucian through his E dash — a real kill setup with jungle follow-up.
First itemLilliaLiandry's/Riftmaker makes your W and DoT deal serious percent-HP damage to his squishy frame in any extended fight.
Two+ itemsLilliaHe has no scaling answer to you in the 1v1 — your item-powered DoT and kite out-duel him all game; only respect his teamfight burst.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Lucian's Level 1-2 is his only real window — his double-shot passive and Q chunk you while you have just Blooming Blows and no kite chain, so don't trade, just last-hit with the outer edge of Q from max range and accept a little poke. Once you hit 3 and layer the E slow into Q sweetspots, the Dream Dust burn starts ticking and your stacking move speed makes you uncatchable. The key read: bait his E early — if he burns the dash to poke instead of saving it as an escape, you own the next ten seconds.
