Primary path on Lucian
Precision improves attack and sustained damage on Lucian troughout the match. Most of high elo players – and our LoL pros in the the major regions – have agreed that
Press the Attack is the best keystone rune to run on
Lucian. Lucian has a very easy time activating this rune with basic attacks which synergises well with
Press the Attack’s damage increase once activated. This is usually followed up by taking
Presence of Mind,
Legend: Bloodline and
Coup de Grace.
Presence of Mind helps Lucian with the mana problems by restoring missing mana, if a champion is killed.
Legend: Bloodline gives life steal, which aids in winning damage trades and fights in the later stages of the match. Lucian deals with
Coup de Grace more damage to targets with low health.
Secondary path on Lucian
When it comes to your secondary path, most
Lucian players prefer to go with
Inspiration.
Inspiration opens creative opportunities on Lucian troughout the match. On the
Inspiration path, the best runes for Lucian are
Biscuit Delivery and
Magical Footwear.
Biscuit Delivery is a great rune for laning as it gives additional health and mana, which can help in more aggressive lanes.
Magical Footwear allows players to focus on those essential core items without the need to spend the additional 300 gold on boots.
