Lucian vs Akshan

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use early level 2 burst with support setup to contest lane priority against Akshan's poke and mobility.
Exploit Lucian's passive double-shot and (Q) through minions to punish Akshan's short-range positioning.
Avoid extended fights where (E) mobility and (R) burst can outpace Lucian's short range.

Trading pattern

Trade only after support setup or when (E) is on cooldown to avoid his reposition.
Use (Q) through low-health minions to punish Akshan's last-hit attempts.
Avoid using (E) forward without cooldown advantage; dash in, proc passive, then exit before sustained damage hits.

Danger windows

Respect (E) engage; avoid overextending when it's available to prevent hard punishes.
Be cautious when (R) is up; he can finish or force fights you can't win.
Avoid prolonged trades where Akshan can use (W) camouflage to reposition or roam unnoticed.

Early game

Contest level 2 aggressively with (Q) and (E) trades before Akshan unlocks full combo.
Thin waves early to create small wave states that let you dash in and out safely.
Reset timing should align with first item spike to maximize short burst trades before Akshan scales.

Power spikes

Level 2 grants early (Q)+(E) burst trades; contest this window to force Akshan back.
First completed marksman item empowers your burst trades; use it to force recalls or dragon priority.
Level 6 (R) enables finishing low-health targets; track Akshan's ultimate to time all-ins or defensive resets.

Win conditions

Convert early lane pressure into lane priority and force Akshan off CS to deny scaling.
Use short burst trades combined with support setup to force Akshan recalls or jungle attention.
Track (R) cooldown and roam timer to punish his side movement or secure skirmishes mid-game.
