Anivia vs Lucian

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use strong waveclear and zoning to control mid and punish Lucian's short-range trades.
Avoid being caught without flash; Lucian's burst and dash punish immobility.
Prioritize farming safely until first mana/AP item to unlock stronger trade potential.

Trading pattern

Trade by landing (Q) stun chained with (E) for max damage during Lucian's cooldowns.
Use (W) to block Lucian's dash paths and force him into your (Q).
Avoid trading if (Q) is down or missed; Lucian will punish with burst trades.

Danger windows

Respect Lucian's level 2 power spike when he can dash and burst with support setup.
Avoid overextending after using (Q) or (W) as Lucian can punish your cooldowns.
Stay cautious if flash is down; Lucian's all-in windows become much more threatening.

Early game

Hold wave near your tower early to limit Lucian's dash-in burst trades.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 and first item; Lucian's early burst is high.
Use (Q) and (W) combo to punish Lucian when he oversteps after using (E).

Power spikes

After level 6 and first mana/AP item, use (R) to zone and force Lucian out of lane safely.
Post-6, your (R) makes it hard for Lucian to siege or all-in without risk.
First item completion boosts your waveclear and trade reliability; pressure waves confidently then.

Win conditions

Farm safely until first item then use waveclear and zone with (R) to deny Lucian's aggression.
Punish Lucian's aggressive dash-ins by chaining (W) terrain and (Q) stun for picks.
Use lane priority post-6 to force Lucian off waves and set up roams or teamfight advantages.

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