Items

Items make or break alot of champions. These are some items that make Lucian great and why you go them on him.

This Item has AD, LS, AS, and a passive that does 8% Current Health damage as extra damage. Its great as a first item on lucian because it gives everything lucian wants but CDR. AD+AS for his autos Abilites, Lifesteal for laning phase and during fights. And BoTRK's passive procs on both lucians autos which means your doing 16% of someones current HP per passive proc. With PTA this is alot of frontloaded + sustained damage your doing to one target. B.F Sword does give the same amount of ad, but it doesnt give you extra stats. PLus the active to help kite/chase. All in all great item.

Another item that gives everything lucian wants. AD, HP, CDR, and Armor Shred. This items helps lucian shred any and all armor pre 20 minutes which is little to none. Your 2 auto passive, q and ulti with e auto reset make it EXTREMELY easy to stack cleaver. This item also gives Lucian the ability to if used correctly, get his dash back after 1 rotation which is huge. Also a little bit of health is nice cause the more health you have harder you are to kill. Only for 3k Gold? I'll take it.

Phantom Dancer is what I like going because of how overloaded it is. I suggest people go rapid fire if they really hate lucians low range and can't use him correctly because 500 range is pretty trash and extremely punishing if you don't know what your doing. PD for 100 Gold less gives 15% MORE attack speed and a damage reduction passive while giving you 12% MS toward enemy champions. In my opinion this beats out other zeal item once you get the hang on lucain because youll be dashing over teamfights and the range won't matter unless it's twitch or caitlyn type champ.

Pretty straight forward. Basically gives you conquer permantly everytime you crit as well as double your crit chance. Lucian at the end of the day is still an AD. So crit is important.

Situtional

I'm still testing this myself but I like it if im going full crit. This is a huge crit AD powerspike which does alot of damage because of the 100% crit on ur first auto. Ever since they buffed his Q and they extra 20 AD actually helps. But the 100% Crit doesn't work with both your autos for an FYI. It's good for a full crit Lucian but i still prefer blade.

This item. My love hate relationship. I use to go it first Season 6 and 7 because Manaless Lucian with 30% CDR with 2 Items was great. After the rework this item was Riot's way of saying "here's your buff lucian!" it was great because sometimes i wouldn't even channel full culling then proceed to wipe out everyone with just my abilites. It was great. Then I got used to it and they nerfed it so I can't really find a place for it anywhere in my build. Sometimes i'll do it 6th item if i don't need a defensive item because I don't see anywhere in my build where I'd need it that badly. It's not bad, I just don't ulti first anymore because I save it so the active is being wasted. If you want you can use it. Great for 1v5ing. Just look at Jax and Renekton abuse it!

Great Item for Lucian because of the High amount of Raw AD and the 10% CDR and Physvamp. The reason i don't build this every game however is because I don't need true damage ticking on me when they have no burst damage. It's even worse with DoT on the enemy team since you have 2 DoTs and if you can't life steal you die. Even with hard poke, if you can't life steal no point to take it unless vs crazy burst.

This Item is great just like death dance however the reason you take it is different. Bloodthirster is regular lifesteal. 20% with a Shield. Take it with Overheal and you get a nice shield that helps you in your teamfights thats more sustained than burst. Also if you can Auto alot it helps a crazy amount more than DD. I rarley take it though because no CD + No attack speed. Once again depending on the game and depending on the style you play it might be better.

The Anti Burst/Mage Item. Pretty straight forward. Just Buy it vs a fed rumble, fizz, diana, akail. Or any AP one shot thats happening to you. With Nullifying Orb its pretty bonkers when it procs giving you the shield, 20+ AD 10% Spellvamp and 10% LS making you extremely dangeous when low.

Straight Forward. Buy vs Lock on CC that will kill you. Ex. Lissandra Maokai W. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BUY VS MALZAHAR. Remember also if your really skilled at using QSS, you can stop things like vi ulti, lee sin kick and that will really save you and look really cool!

Buy this when your 1v9ing your game or your extremely fed and when you team will 100% lose because your not alive. Remember that everytime you die, it gets harder to carry so use good judgement when you get it as you only get 40 AD from it.

Build the first Last whisper 4th Item when the enemy tanks (3-4) Are only building Armor and you need to kill them. ASAP. Its probably one of those game youd wish you went conq. So just pay attendion to builds before you build your 4th item.
