How to win lane as Sejuani against Lucian · 57.41% win rate over 270 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lucian | Lucian's passive double-shot fires the instant you step up and his Q poke follows — you have no Frost stacks and no answer at level 1, so give the wave and absorb. |
| Level 2 | Lucian | His E dash makes your Q engage whiff on reaction and he double-shots you on the way out — even with your Q online the risk-reward is firmly his. |
| Level 3 | Lucian | Full kit arrives but so does Lucian's full poke pattern — W both strikes applies Frost, but he dashes away before your E Permafrost stun can land reliably. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lucian | Levels 4-5 are his peak poke window before your first item arrives; his Q shreds you from range and Relentless Pursuit keeps him safe from your engage attempts. |
| Level 6 | Lucian | His Relentless Pursuit and double-shot burst outpace your raw damage and he can disengage any Q engage he reads — this window belongs to him until your R creates an angle he can't dash away from. |
| First item | Lucian | Lucian's first-item power spike with Kraken Slayer or Immortal Shieldbow lets him burst you down before your Sunfire bulk lands — he still owns the straight trade here. |
| Two+ items | Sejuani | Two tank items and full CC uptime: your Permafrost armor is permanent, his E dash cannot escape a landed Arctic Assault, and the Q-into-W-into-E chain stuns him through any positioning he tries. |
Lucian owns this window completely — his passive double-shot and Q poke chunk you down before you can build any Frost stacks, and his E dash means your Arctic Assault whiffs if he sees it coming. Take W first, hit the wave for Frost stacks without stepping up, and let Doran's Shield plus Second Wind absorb his harass. Never throw Q into his E range; wait for him to misposition or extend toward your tower before considering any trade. Your job at levels 1 through 3 is to arrive at level 6 with enough HP to fight.
