Diana vs Lucian

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use level 3 (Q)+(W)+(E) burst to challenge Lucian's short-range poke and dash trades.
Avoid extended fights since (Q) poke and (E) mobility punish your cooldowns.
Track (R) availability to force all-ins or reset safely after level 6 engages.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by landing (Q) then immediately use (E) to reset and burst Lucian.
Avoid using (E) without (Q) mark to prevent losing pressure and punish windows.
Punish (E) cooldown by stepping forward to trade before he can reposition.

Danger windows

Respect (E) dash when his support enables burst trades; avoid overextending.
Avoid trading when (Q) is on cooldown, as missing it leaves you vulnerable to Lucian's burst.
Beware of (R) after forced displacement or cooldowns spent; sidestep or disengage.

Early game

Hold wave near your turret to avoid Lucian's early (Q) poke and dash pressure.
Use level 3 combo only when minion wave and cooldowns prevent Lucian's quick retaliation.
Reset after pushing wave post-level 3 to deny Lucian easy short trades with support.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your full (Q)+(W)+(E) combo, enabling strong burst trades and shield use.
Level 6 (R) grants powerful all-in threat; use it to force Lucian off the wave or secure kills.
First AP item completion boosts burst damage and wave control, increasing trade reliability.

Win conditions

Use level 3 combo and (R) all-in windows to snowball lane priority and force Lucian recalls.
Crash waves post-burst trades to deny Lucian free farm and create roam or reset opportunities.
Exploit Lucian's cooldowns on (E) and (Q) to secure kills or force him off the wave consistently.

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