Read from Singed's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Lucian.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Lucian's Piercing Light clips through the wave and his double-shot hits before Fling is even unlocked — you cannot trade and should not try. |
| Level 2 | Lucian | Relentless Pursuit lets him instantly dash out of Fling range whenever you close distance, keeping you behind in every exchange until you have more tools. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Relentless Pursuit reads 16s but his Lightslinger shots keep cutting it — so land the goo first rather than counting, because grounded it will not cast. |
| Levels 4-5 | Singed | Proxy forces him to use Relentless Pursuit aggressively toward you rather than safely away, and each misspent dash opens a punish window for your Fling-and-run. |
| Level 6 | Singed | Insanity Potion's stat dump lets you survive his full burst rotation long enough to root him with Mega Adhesive and fling him back through your poison cloud. |
| First item | Singed | Rylai's Crystal Scepter turns every Poison Trail tile into a slow; Lucian can no longer sprint through your cloud, so Relentless Pursuit lands him into glue instead of safety. |
| Two+ items | Singed | Liandry's Torment stacks on a permanently slowed Lucian melt his health pool before he can kite far enough to reset — the matchup is effectively unwinnable for him at full items. |
Lucian's Piercing Light pokes through the minion wave and his passive double-shot punishes every step forward before you have Fling. Stay behind your own minions at level 1 so his Q cannot clip you easily, and accept that you are not trading in this window. At level 2 Fling comes online but he simply Relentless Pursuits the moment you close range — you still lose a straight trade. The only correct play is to identify his ward coverage, start the proxy path under his tower, and make his early poke advantage irrelevant by eating his wave before it reaches him.
