Lucian vs Ezreal

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Lucian wins short burst trades with support setup before Ezreal can kite or poke safely.
Control wave near your side to punish Ezreal's last-hit attempts and deny free farm.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto-attack Ezreal during his last-hit animations if enemy support can't punish.
Use (Q) through low-health minions to hit Ezreal without exposing yourself to his (Q) poke.
Avoid trading after using (E) forward unless your support can immediately follow up.

Danger windows

Avoid engaging when (E) is available, as he can dodge your burst and reposition safely.
Respect enemy support presence in brush or river that can punish your step forward for last hits.
Be cautious trading when (Q) poke is unblocked and his support cooldowns are ready to follow up.

Early game

Contest level 2 trades aggressively with support cover to exploit Lucian's dash and burst.
Punish Ezreal stepping up for caster minions when his (Q) is on cooldown or blocked by minions.
Hold the wave near your tower early to limit Ezreal's poke angles and reduce his dash safety.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your (E) dash and passive burst, enabling strong short trades before Ezreal stabilizes.
First completed marksman item boosts your burst trades enough to force recalls or dragon priority.
Level 6 (R) can finish off low-health targets forced out of position by your early pressure.

Win conditions

Convert early lane pressure into CS leads and turret plates before Ezreal hits key item spikes.
Use support-enabled burst windows to force Ezreal recalls and secure dragon vision control.
Leverage your early lead to dominate mid-game skirmishes where your burst outperforms Ezreal's sustained DPS.
