How to win lane as Teemo against Lucian · 50.19% win rate (1,291 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15

Track: Lucian's E — Relentless Pursuit (16–14s cooldown). His dash + reset. Engage when it's down.
Read from Teemo's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Lucian.
This is Teemo's own plan; across 1,291 pooled games the lane is even.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lucian | Lightslinger loads his next basic attack, so blind erases the whole proc — but you must cast Q after his ability, and at level 1 you may not have it yet. |
| Level 2 | Teemo | Your Toxic Shot poison online lets you threaten a poke-and-retreat trade with W before his E comes off cooldown — the one window you dictate the exchange. |
| Level 3 | Lucian | Piercing Light travels through a minion into whoever is behind it, and Ardent Blaze reveals you from 900 — so neither the wave nor invisibility is cover. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lucian | Relentless Pursuit is 16s at rank 1 and only drops when his Lightslinger attacks connect — blind those and his one dash stays down for the whole trade, mushrooms included. |
| Level 6 | Lucian | At level 6 he gains kill threat: E-dash past your Noxious Trap entrance wards, double-shot proc on the way in, and you cannot W out before his burst hits; your shrooms help zone but do not stop a committed Lucian. |
| First item | Lucian | Kraken Slayer or Blade of the Ruined King at first item shreds your HP pool before Liandry's DoT finishes its work — he spikes harder than you do on first buy. |
| Two+ items | Lucian | Your mushroom-warded split-push finally reclaims the lane: Liandry's DoT ticking through shroom fields forces E-cooldown fishing before each approach, and he cannot safely farm in a corridor you control. |
Level 1 is Lucian's, but not for the reason usually given: Lightslinger loads his NEXT basic attack after any ability, and a basic attack is precisely what Blinding Dart erases. The order matters — blind after he casts, never before. Stay at max poison range and let him set the tone while you have only one point in Q, then take your trades once the pattern is readable. His Relentless Pursuit is 16s at rank 1 and only ticks down when his Lightslinger attacks land, so a blind that eats one is also a blind that keeps his single escape gone for the rest of the trade.
