Champions Lucian beats
- Amumusupport
Relentless Pursuit (E) dashes Lucian out of Curse of the Sad Mummy (R) AOE the moment Bandage Toss (Q) connects on the support. The stun lands but the kill target is already gone, and Lightslinger passive double-tap punishes Amumu's recovery frames.
- Apheliosbot
Piercing Light (Q) and Phase (W) leave Aphelios stationary during cast; Lucian's Relentless Pursuit (E) dashes inside Calibrum range and Lightslinger (P) double-shots stack Press the Attack before he completes his weapon cycle.
- Ashebot
Relentless Pursuit (E) ignores Frost Shot slow by repositioning instantly. Lucian closes the range gap without paying the kiting tax that hurts every other ADC, and Lightslinger passive double-tap punishes Ranger's Focus (Q) recovery frames.
- Blitzcranksupport
Relentless Pursuit (E) dodges Rocket Grab (Q) reactively because the projectile is slow and visible. Lucian walks the lane bush and forces Blitzcrank to mispredict E direction; Lightslinger (P) double-shots stack The Culling (R) charges before Power Fist (E) knock-up lands.
- Corkibot
Relentless Pursuit (E) enters and exits Corki's auto range freely. Lightslinger (P) double-auto on Piercing Light (Q) out-trades Hextech Munitions (P) chip in early levels, beating Corki straight up before Trinity Force lands.
- Jinxbot
Lightslinger (P) double-shot bursts Jinx during minigun stacking phase, and Relentless Pursuit (E) dash closes the rocket Q range gap. Piercing Light (Q) point-blank chunks Jinx every wave, while The Culling (R) channels through Flame Chompers (E) root window.
- Kai'Sabot
Lightslinger (P) double-shot bursts Kai'Sa during her vulnerable level 1-3 window, and Relentless Pursuit (E) dash closes the Void Seeker (W) range gap. Piercing Light (Q) point-blank chunks her every wave, and The Culling (R) finishes through evolved E invisibility.
- Kalistabot
Lightslinger (P) double-shot bursts Kalista during hop spacing windows before she stacks Press the Attack, and Relentless Pursuit (E) dash matches her mobility. Piercing Light (Q) point-blank chunks her every wave, and The Culling (R) chains through Fate's Call (R) reposition.
- Kog'Mawbot
Bio-Arcane Barrage (W) requires standup time Lucian denies with Piercing Light (Q) burst and Relentless Pursuit (E) angle change. Void Ooze (E) slow is single-direction so E sidesteps it; Living Artillery (R) cost makes Kog'Maw oom before Lucian's Lightslinger (P) chain finishes.
- Maokaisupport
Relentless Pursuit (E) bypasses Maokai's Q knock-back angle and repositions out of Sapling Toss (E) slow. Lightslinger (P) double-shots stack Press the Attack during Twisted Advance (W) cooldown windows and The Culling (R) channel finishes Maokai's HP burst.
- Miss Fortunebot
Lucian's better short-trade burst — Lightslinger (P) double-shot after Piercing Light (Q) — out-trades Love Tap (P) target swap. Miss Fortune has no dash to disengage if Lucian commits Flash plus Relentless Pursuit (E) for an all-in and The Culling (R) finishes her low-HP.
- Sennasupport
Senna's low base resistances and movement make her squishy in Lucian's Piercing Light (Q) double-shot windows. Curse of the Black Mist (E) camouflage breaks on auto so Lightslinger (P) reveals her;
- Threshsupport
Relentless Pursuit (E) dodges Death Sentence (Q) reactively if E is up before the hook lands. Lightslinger (P) double-shots stack Press the Attack inside Flay (E) range before Thresh can swap directions and The Box (R) walls die to E-Flash diagonal exit.

- Varusbot
Lightslinger passive double-shot plus Piercing Light (Q) burst chunk Varus during his Piercing Arrow (Q) channel window, while Relentless Pursuit (E) dash steps out before the charged arrow lands. The Culling (R) zones Varus off the charged-Q spot in extended trades.
- Xayahbot
Lucian Lightslinger passive double-shot plus Piercing Light (Q) burst chunks Xayah inside her 525 auto range during level 1-5 trades. Relentless Pursuit (E) dash closes inside her Feather setup before she can recall them with Bladecaller (E) for the root.
- Yunarabot

- Ziggsbot
Lucian chains dashes inside Ziggs' Bouncing Bomb Q range — Relentless Pursuit E plus Lightslinger passive double-tap auto procs let him weave dashes between Q bounces. Piercing Light Q line poke chunks Ziggs through Satchel Charge W cooldown windows.
