Read from Yone's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Lucian.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Lucian's Q poke and double-shot passive bully you at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Lucian | At level 2 he keeps out-trading you with his dash and burst. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 evens out as your second dash and W match his poke. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | At level 4 his combo re-spikes and out-trades a careless Yone. |
| Level 6 | Yone | Level 6 flips to you — Fate Sealed catches him with no escape. |
| First item | Yone | Your first item lets your all-in delete him before he dash-resets. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Late, Yone's mobility one-shots the squishy Lucian in fights. |
Lucian is a lane bully early — Piercing Light (Q) and the Lightslinger (P) double-shot chunk you every time you step up to CS, and Relentless Pursuit lets him slip your Mortal Steel (Q3). Levels 1-2 belong to him, so farm patiently and don't commit to trades he can dash out of. Track that dash: his Lightslinger attacks shorten its 16s.
