Zoe vs Lucian

Confidence highUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use (E) to catch Lucian off guard and follow up with (R)+(Q) for long-range burst trades.
Avoid extended fights after missing (E) since Lucian can punish your cooldown window.
Control wave state to create angles for (E) and leverage your superior poke range.

Trading pattern

Fish for (E) sleep to set up quick (Q)+(R) burst before Lucian can react.
Punish Lucian immediately after he uses (E) since his mobility and burst drop.
Avoid trades when (E) is on cooldown or missed to prevent Lucian's short-range burst from punishing you.

Danger windows

Respect (E) dash forward combined with support setup for quick burst trades.
Avoid overextending when (R) is available to finish targets forced out of position.
Be cautious trading after missing (E) or using (R) at bad timings, as Lucian can punish cooldowns.

Early game

Contest early levels by fishing for (E) to disrupt Lucian's short-range burst trades.
Avoid using (R) prematurely; save it for dodging (E) or extending (Q) poke.
Thin waves to prevent Lucian from safely dashing in for passive trades.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for extended poke angles and safer burst windows; use this to threaten picks.
First completed AP burst item increases your trade reliability; pressure Lucian before he scales.
Post-level 6, leverage (R) to roam or reset safely, expanding your map impact beyond lane.

Win conditions

Convert successful (E) picks into lane priority by crashing waves and forcing Lucian off CS.
Use (R) to create unpredictable poke angles and roam to side lanes for additional pressure.
Track Lucian's cooldowns and support presence to exploit windows for safe all-ins or resets.

Tip: For Zoe vs Lucian, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
