How it works

General
  1. You play poke oriented Mage.
  2. You rush Luden's Companion.
  3. You build AP items, going full damage.

How to play

General
  1. Playing AP Lucian build, your default rush is Luden's Companion. In cases, when an enemy team is full of tanks and HP stackers, go Liandry's Torment.
  2. Adapt to an enemy team. Are they full of tanks, and they rush tons of Magic Resist? You rush Void Staff as #2 or #3 item to counter MR stacking. Their team has champs with lots of healing? Rush Oblivion Orb as #2 item (upgrade to Morellonomicon as 4th or 5th item).
  3. Somebody is going after you each fight? Always getting ulted by enemy assassins? Rush Zhonya's Hourglass.

Tips and Tricks

Riot
  1. For optimal burst, try to combine Relentless Pursuit into Piercing Light.
  2. Ardent Blaze actually explodes in a star pattern. Try to line it up so the spokes hit enemy champions.
  3. Once you have chosen an angle for The Culling, you cannot change it. Pick your moment well!
  4. Because of Lightslinger, Lucian benefits more from Attack Damage than he does from Attack Speed.
