Lucian Bot guide

Lucian adc is built around Piercing Light (Q), Ardent Blaze (W), and Relentless Pursuit (E): open with Piercing Light to pierce the lane, follow with Ardent Blaze to mark and reveal the target, then use Relentless Pursuit to close or reset while Lightslinger (passive) turns the attack after each cast into a double-shot.

The build

Rune page: Press the Attack, Presence of Mind, Legend: Bloodline, and Coup de Grace (Precision), with Magical Footwear and Biscuit Delivery (Inspiration). Summoners: Flash and Barrier. Skill order opens Piercing Light (Q), then Relentless Pursuit (E), then Ardent Blaze (W), and maxes Piercing Light (Q) first with Relentless Pursuit (E) second. Starter: Doran's Blade and a Health Potion, into Gluttonous Greaves. Core build: Essence Reaver, Navori Flickerblade, and Infinity Edge, with Lord Dominik's Regards, B. F. Sword, and The Collector as later options.

Ability mechanics

Lightslinger (passive) turns Lucian's next attack after any ability into a double-shot, and also adds bonus magic damage to his next two attacks whenever he's healed, shielded, or a nearby enemy champion is immobilized. Piercing Light (Q) shoots a bolt of light straight through its target. Ardent Blaze (W) fires an exploding missile that marks and briefly reveals enemies it hits, granting Move Speed for attacking a marked target. Relentless Pursuit (E) is a short dash whose cooldown is reduced by Lightslinger attacks, and The Culling (R) unleashes a torrent of shots from both weapons.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Senna, Ashe, Jinx, Caitlyn, Jhin. Best matchups: Ezreal, Kai'Sa, Tristana.
