Early game (levels 1–5)

Lucian is a lane bully early — his Piercing Light (Q) and the double-shot from Ardent Blaze (W) chunk you every time you step up to CS, and his E dash lets him slip your Mortal Steel (Q3). Levels 1-2 belong to him, so farm patiently and don't commit to trades where he can dash out and re-poke. Track his E cooldown; that dash is his whole safety net.
