How to win lane as Lucian against Quinn · 31.58% win rate over 19 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Same auto range and your Lightslinger double-tap off a Q can win a flat trade before her Harrier passive ramps — this is genuinely even. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Your level 2 Q double-shot is a real trade, but her E vault is nearly up and her Harrier kite already starts answering it — call it even at best. |
| Level 3 | Quinn | Once her E (vault) lands it knocks you back and blinds your Lightslinger autos while Harrier speed walks her out of your Q line. |
| Levels 4-5 | Quinn | She kites with Harrier, vaults your E-dash, and pokes you down with no sustain answer on your side. |
| Level 6 | Quinn | Her R is roam fuel — she leaves to get picks and your Culling channel hits a vaulting, blink-away target for nothing. |
| First item | Quinn | She out-ranges your first-item spike and Harrier-kites your W chase before you can ever cash the mark. |
| Two+ items | Quinn | She out-scales your short-range marksman kit, kiting and vaulting every all-in while you have no gap-closer to ever catch her. |
Levels 1-2 are the only windows you actually own — you share her auto range, and a Q into Lightslinger double-tap can win a flat trade before her Harrier passive is rolling. Take that trade and take it early, because the second her E vault is up the lane flips: she knocks you back out of range, the vault blinds your next Lightslinger autos so your burst whiffs, and Harrier move speed lets her stroll out of every Q line you fire. Do not throw Q at her in the open — she sidesteps it on the move. Last-hit with Q's tip and hoard your E for when she actually commits.
