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.
