Lucian vs Zeri

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Lucian wins short burst trades and punishes Zeri's predictable CS paths through minions.
Zeri scales better for extended fights with terrain mobility, so deny her long trades and item spikes.

Trading pattern

Punish Zeri's last-hit attempts when she stands behind low-health minions if enemy support can't counter.
Only trade aggressively after enemy (E) dash is down to limit her escape and poke.
Use (Q) through minions to hit Zeri when she walks up for CS, but respect enemy support zone control.

Danger windows

Avoid trading when (E) dash is available with nearby terrain for escape.
Respect (R) active window, as extended fights favor her mobility and DPS.
Beware of enemy support control in brush or engage range that can punish Lucian's forward (E).

Early game

Contest level 2 trades with support cover to leverage Lucian's early dash and burst.
Use small wave states to dash in, proc passive, and back off before Zeri can respond.
Avoid large waves where minion damage punishes Lucian's short range and forward (E).

Power spikes

Level 2 spike enables Lucian to force trades before Zeri stabilizes with mobility.
First completed marksman item strengthens burst trades, allowing Lucian to threaten recalls and dragon control.
Level 6 (R) lets Lucian finish targets forced out of position, increasing kill pressure.

Win conditions

Convert early burst trades into CS leads and plate damage before Zeri reaches item spikes.
Use lane pressure and wave crashes to force Zeri under tower, limiting her safe farming.
Leverage first item and level 6 power spikes to secure dragon vision and mid-game skirmishes.

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