Neeko vs Lucian

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use disguise and (W) clone to create uncertainty and bait (E) trades.
Look to root through minions with (E) and follow with (Q) burst to punish Lucian's short range.
Leverage level 6 (R) threat to force picks or zone Lucian from wave control.

Trading pattern

Fish for (E) roots through minions and immediately burst with (Q) before Lucian can dash away.
Avoid extended trades after missing (E) as Lucian can punish with short burst trades.
Use (W) clone and passive disguise to mask engage timing and bait (E) usage.

Danger windows

Respect Lucian's level 2 burst with (E) dash and passive double shots; avoid early extended trades.
Avoid stepping forward when (E) is up to prevent burst trades and disengage.
Be cautious when (R) is available as Lucian can finish targets forced out of position.

Early game

Contest level 2 trades carefully as (E) and passive burst are strong early.
Use minion waves to angle (E) roots and avoid stepping into (Q) poke range.
Reset after pushing wave post-level 3 to secure item power spike and avoid extended trades.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for strong all-in and teamfight threat; use it to force Lucian off the wave.
First completed AP burst item increases (Q) and (E) damage; pressure waves and trades confidently.
Post-level 6, Lucian respects (R) and is less likely to trade aggressively; capitalize on cooldown windows.

Win conditions

Use disguise and (E) root angles to create picks or force Lucian to reset under tower.
Convert level 6 (R) threat into roams or teamfight impact to snowball mid-game.
Pressure Lucian after his (E) is down to zone him from CS and force recalls.

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