Draven vs Lucian

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Draven wins short trades by punishing Lucian's CS attempts with axe autos and (E) interrupts.
Control brush and keep axes active to force Lucian into unsafe last-hit positions.
Lucian thrives in quick burst trades after (E) dash; avoid extended fights where he can reposition.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto Lucian during his last-hit animations only if enemy support cannot punish.
Use (E) to interrupt (E) dash or disengage attempts before committing to trades.
Avoid catching axes in zones controlled by enemy support to prevent losing HP for one auto.

Danger windows

Avoid stepping forward when Lucian's support controls brush or engage zones near axes.
Respect (E) dash cooldown; he is most dangerous when it is available for burst trades.
Beware of (R) follow-up after he forces you out of position with support help.

Early game

Use first three waves to catch axes aggressively near Lucian's low-health minions to punish last hits.
Prioritize level 2 trades with (Q) axes active and (E) ready to interrupt (E) dash.
Keep wave thinned to limit Lucian's dash angles and reduce his poke through minions.

Power spikes

Level 1: (Q) axe autos let Draven punish Lucian's early CS attempts aggressively.
First damage item: Axe trades become kill threats; force short trades before Lucian stabilizes.
Maintain axe stacks to keep pressure; losing axes drops lane threat sharply.

Win conditions

Convert early CS and kill leads into plate damage and forced Lucian recalls.
Use lane priority to secure dragon vision and pressure before Lucian completes key items.
Snowball through passive cash-in from kills and maintain axe control to dominate mid-game fights.
