Lucian

Where it thrives (5-comp fit)

• Protectworkable · 50%
• Catchworkable · 40%
• Siegeworkable · 30%
• Lucian can hold up a Protect plan — it is the scaling carry a Protect shell exists to keep alive — but a Protect-first shell gets more out of it (Protect 5/10 vs Protect 5/10).

Kit quirks

• Passive Lightslinger fires a bonus second shot after any ability cast; the linked Vigilance passive empowers his next two shots with bonus magic damage only when HE is healed/shielded by an ALLY or a nearby enemy is immobilized — he does not heal or shield himself
• E Relentless Pursuit is a pure repositioning dash with no CC or damage, but its cooldown shrinks further (doubled) against champions hit by Lightslinger procs, rewarding aggressive trading
• R The Culling channels up to 22 rapid-fire shots for heavy sustained physical damage but roots Lucian in place during the channel, making it high-risk in a kit that otherwise has zero hard CC to protect the cast

Dragons & win rate

Win rate when Lucian's team secured at least one of each drake, next to the all-champion rate in that same state. Teams that take dragons are usually already ahead, so every champ wins more with them — the honest read is the gap, i.e. whether Lucian beats the average team that also has the drake. Single-drake samples are thin; treat small counts as suggestive.

Duo playbook

• 
  + Braum (Bot/Support)

  Braum's passive (Concussive Blows) counts basic attacks from allies, not just his own, toward the 4-stack stun on a target he's already hit — and Lucian's passive (Lightslinger) fires a bonus basic attack after every ability cast, so the duo stacks Braum's stun dramatically faster than most ADC pairings, which is the actual mechanical reason this is League's most iconic bot lane duo.
