Lucian vs Sivir

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

The lane turns on Lucian's ability to punish Sivir's last-hit paths with (Q) through minions.
Lucian wins short burst trades with support setup, while Sivir scales better with waveclear and (E).
Hold small waves to dash in for quick trades before Sivir can use (E) or clear waves.

Trading pattern

Punish Sivir when she steps up for caster minion last hits if enemy support can't immediately trade back.
Use (Q) through low-health minions to hit Sivir, then back off before enemy support zone closes.
Only dash in with (E) for trades when your support can engage or protect; avoid extended fights without setup.

Danger windows

Avoid trading when (E) is up, as it negates your key burst and can turn fights.
Be cautious stepping forward if enemy support controls brush or threat zone, limiting your punish window.
After using (E) aggressively, Lucian is vulnerable to counter-poke or engage; respect this cooldown window.

Early game

Contest level 2 with support cover to force Sivir off the wave before she stabilizes.
Use early waves to thin minions, enabling (Q) to hit Sivir when she last-hits behind low-health minions.
Avoid using (E) forward before enemy engage or poke cooldowns are down to prevent punish windows.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (E) dash and passive burst, enabling Lucian to force early lane control and punish Sivir's positioning.
First completed marksman item strengthens burst trades, letting Lucian threaten kills and force recalls before Sivir scales.
Level 6 (R) can finish targets pushed out by earlier trades, but use only after support cooldowns or enemy cooldowns are down.

Win conditions

Convert early lane pressure into CS leads by forcing Sivir off ranged minions and denying free farm.
Crash waves after short trades to take turret plates and set up dragon control with your team.
Use your item spikes and support synergy to create kill pressure before Sivir reaches her full teamfight DPS potential.
