Lucian is a champion in League of Legends.[1]

Abilities[]

Edit

Lightslinger

Lightslinger

Innate: After casting an ability, Lucian's next basic attack within 3.5 seconds fires an additional shot on-attack after 0.25 seconds, which deals 50 / 55 / 60% (based on level) AD physical damage, increased to 100% AD against Minion icon minions. He will shoot the same target, else another target in range.

The second shot applies On-hit icon on-hit and on-attack effects at 100% effectiveness and is affected by Critical strike icon critical strike modifiers.

Innate - Vigilance: Whenever Lucian is Heal power icon healed or Hybrid resistances icon shielded by an ally, or an enemy champion within 1000 units is Stun icon immobilized, his next two shots within 6 seconds are empowered to deal 15 (+ 15% AD) bonus magic damage On-hit icon on-hit. He can store up to 4 empowered shots at a time.

Info
  • Lightslinger is triggered and consumed by the first attack, even if no target can be found upon firing the second attack.
  • The second attack, if the initial target was killed, will prioritize enemy champions regardless of having Sight icon sight of them or not and enemy Minion icon minions with Health icon low health.
  • Lucian can perform actions freely while firing Lightslinger since the second attack is integrated into the first one.
    • The second attack has special movement animations depending on the direction Lucian is moving while firing.
  • The second attack counts as a separate hit for effects such as Electrocute Electrocute, Muramana's Muramana's Shock, and Eclipse's Eclipse's Ever Rising Moon.
  • The second attack separately rolls Critical strike icon WR critical strike.
  • The empowered shots will apply against structures.

Edit

Piercing Light

Piercing Light

Active: Lucian fires a laser in a line in the direction of the target enemy that deals physical damage to enemies hit.

Physical Damage:
95 / 125 / 155 / 185 / 215 (+ 60 / 75 / 90 / 105 / 120% bonus AD)

Piercing Light's cast time ends prematurely if the initial target dies, allowing Lucian to attack and move freely, or to immediately begin casting either Ardent Blaze Ardent Blaze or The Culling The Culling.(bug)

Info
  • Piercing Light will attempt to lead the target if it is moving but does not adjust further during the cast time (enemies can dodge the laser if they change their position by a sufficient amount during the cast time).
  • Lucian can buffer Ardent Blaze Ardent Blaze or The Culling The Culling during the cast time. Relentless Pursuit Relentless Pursuit is locked out.
    • This is why Lucian can use them early if the cast time prematurely ends.

Edit

Ardent Blaze

Ardent Blaze

Active: Lucian fires a missile in the target direction that explodes in a cross pattern upon hitting an enemy or reaching maximum range, dealing magic damage to enemies hit and granting Sight icon sight of the area for 1 second.

Magic Damage:
75 / 110 / 145 / 180 / 215 (+ 90% AP)
Ardent Blaze 2

Enemies hit are marked for 6 seconds.

Ardent Blaze 3

Lucian gains Movement speed icon bonus movement speed for 1 second when he or allied champions damage a marked target. Allied champions triggering this effect grant Lucian Vigilance Vigilance.

Bonus Movement Speed:
60 / 65 / 70 / 75 / 80

Info
  • This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.
    • Like most missiles, it will not collide with enemies whose center is beyond the maximum range (not behind Lucian), but this determines only the center and timing of the explosion.
  • Ardent Blaze will cast from wherever Lucian is at the end of the cast time.
  • Lucian will not gain Ardent Blaze's bonus movement speed if attacks on marked targets are Jax Counter Strike old dodged, Spirit's Refuge blocked, or if missed while the attacker is Blind icon blinded.
  • Blaze DoTs will proc Ardent Blaze only once.
  • Spell Shield Spell shield will not prevent the mark.

Edit

Relentless Pursuit

Passive: Relentless Pursuit's Cooldown icon current cooldown is reduced by 1 second for each Lightslinger Lightslinger shot hit, doubled to 2 seconds against enemy Champion icon champions.

Relentless Pursuit

Active: Lucian Dash dashes in the target direction.

Relentless Pursuit Bladework resets Lucian's basic attack timer. Lucian can cast any of his abilities during the dash. Relentless Pursuit can be cast during Ardent Blaze's Ardent Blaze's cast time and during The Culling's The Culling's channel. Relentless Pursuit will cast at max range if cast beyond that.

Info
  • Additional on-hits during Lightslinger are not considered for the cooldown reduction (i.e Runaan's Hurricane Runaan's Hurricane, Guinsoo's Rageblade Guinsoo's Rageblade).
  • Unlike some dashes, Lucian's dash speed does not scale with his movement speed.
  • Relentless Pursuit's dash can go through terrain, but will not be extended further if the target location is within terrain, unlike other dashes, like Ekko Ekko's Phase Dive Phase Dive.
  • Casting Relentless Pursuit directly after attacking with Lightslinger will reduce Relentless Pursuit's cooldown when the projectiles hit the target.
    • With Navori Quickblades Navori Quickblades and 10 more ability haste, attacking a champion with Lightslinger, followed by Relentless Pursuit, and another Lightslinger attack will fully reset rank 5 Relentless Pursuit's cooldown.
  • Relentless Pursuit can be cast during Recall's Recall's cast time.
    • If Relentless Pursuit is cast just as the cast time ends, Lucian will not perform his Recall animation, instead staying idle. This allows Lucian to use his emotes during his Recall.

Edit

The Culling

The Culling

Active: Lucian Channeling icon channels for up to 3 seconds, rapidly firing up to 22 (+ 1 per 4% critical strike chance) shots in the target direction. Each shot deals physical damage to the first enemy hit, doubled against Minion icon minions. The Culling can be recast after 0.75 seconds during the channel, and does so automatically when the channel ends.

Physical Damage Per Shot:
15 / 30 / 45 (+ 25% AD) (+ 15% AP)
Additional Damage per 20% Crit Chance:
75 / 150 / 225 (+ 125% AD) (+ 75% AP)
Total Physical Damage:
330 / 660 / 990 (+ 550% AD) (+ 330% AP) + 15 / 30 / 45 (+ 25% AD) (+ 15% AP) per 4% critical strike chance
Minion Damage Per Shot:
30 / 60 / 90 (+ 50% AD) (+ 30% AP)
Additional Minion Damage per 20% Crit Chance:
150 / 300 / 450 (+ 250% AD) (+ 150% AP)
Total Minion Damage:
660 / 1320 / 1980 (+ 1100% AD) (+ 660% AP) + 30 / 60 / 90 (+ 50% AD) (+ 30% AP) per 4% critical strike chance

While channeling, Lucian is Ghost ghosted and may still move.

Recast: Lucian ends The Culling.

Info
  • At 100% critical strike chance, The Culling fires up to 25 additional shots, for a total of 47 shots.
    • The total damage at the maximum number of shots (at 100% critical strike chance) is 705 / 1410 / 2115 (+ 1175% AD) (+ 705% AP) physical damage.
    • Against minions, this is increased to 1410 / 2820 / 4230 (+ 2350% AD) (+ 1410% AP).
  • The fire rate increases with the number of shots.
  • During The Culling, Lucian's facing direction is in the direction that he is firing.
  • Lucian can interact with Dark Passage Dark Passage or allied Devour Devour without Silence icon interrupting The Culling.
  • The Culling creates the shots at an offset of 35 units to the front plus 35 units towards each side of Lucian (sides alternating, first shot fired from Lucian's right gun), unlike the missiles of most abilities.
  • The damage dealt by each bullet of The Culling is calculated when the bullet reaches a target, just like single missile abilities.
  • Spell Shield Spell shield only blocks one instance of damage.
  • The following table refers for interactions while Lucian is Channeling icon channeling:

    Original
    RP 975
    21.08.2013
    Lucian, a Sentinel of Light, is a grim hunter of undying spirits, pursuing them relentlessly and annihilating them with his twin relic pistols. After the wraith Thresh slew his wife, Lucian embarked on the path of vengeance… but even with her return to life, his rage is undiminished. Merciless and single-minded, Lucian will stop at nothing to protect the living from the long-dead horrors of the Black Mist.
