How to win lane as Renekton against Lucian · 51.26% win rate over 4,631 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Lucian has no level-1 dash and you have no E yet — both sides are limited to autos and Q poking; neither has a real engage tool so the edge is pure mechanics. |
| Level 2 | Lucian | His Relentless Pursuit (E) comes online and lets him sidestep your W stun animation, then proc a full Lightslinger double-shot and disengage before you can Q-heal — he controls the trade. |
| Level 3 | Lucian | Full Lightslinger kit with E active: his Q slow into double-shot rotation outdamages your unentered combo, and you still lack the Fury window to land an empowered W reliably. |
| Levels 4-5 | Renekton | His Relentless Pursuit cooldown is now a full trade window: E in when it is down, empowered W-stun, Q-heal, E out — he cannot escape or retaliate. |
| Level 6 | Renekton | Dominus HP buffer absorbs his double-shot burst and the rapid Fury generation gives you back-to-back empowered Ws — your solo-kill window is here if his E is spent. |
| First item | Even / skill | Both items spike simultaneously: your Sundered Sky sustain roughly cancels his Kraken Slayer true damage, making fights come down to who lands their CC first rather than a clear stat advantage. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Lucian's second crit item plus Kraken Slayer stacks outpace your scaling; avoid prolonged 1v1s and rotate to objectives where your R engage is more valuable than a losing lane duel. |
Level 1 is a genuine coin flip — Lucian's passive double-shot gives him burst you cannot match before your E is online, so do not step up to auto-trade; last-hit at Q range and build Fury passively. At level 2 he is the stronger duelist: his E-dash lets him dodge your W animation, proc Lightslinger, and disengage before you can Q-heal. Accept the poke and save your first E to escape, not engage. Level 3 is still his window — his Q slow plus double-shot makes a full Lightslinger rotation hurt badly, and without 50 Fury your W is only a 0.75-second stun he can dash through. Farm clean, deny him free autos, and wait for level 4.
