Sivir vs Lucian

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on Sivir blocking (Q) poke with (E) to deny his burst trades.
Sivir wins extended trades and waveclear, while Lucian dominates short burst trades with (E) dash.
Control wave size to limit Lucian's dash windows and punish his last-hit attempts behind minions.

Trading pattern

Punish Lucian when he commits to last-hitting low-health minions with double-hit (Q) return path.
Only step forward to auto or poke if enemy support cannot immediately trade back or zone.
Use (W) to hit Lucian through minions when he stands too close behind the wave.

Danger windows

Lucian's strongest burst trades happen when his (E) dash is available and your (E) is down.
Respect enemy support positioning that can follow Lucian's engage or punish your step forward.
Avoid trading when Lucian channels (R) with support ready to capitalize on forced positioning.

Early game

Use first three waves to clear with (W) and punish Lucian stepping up for caster minions.
Hold (E) to block (Q) or support engage spells, forcing him to bait it first.
Avoid giving Lucian small waves where his (E) dash can safely trade in and out.

Power spikes

(E) availability is key; hold it to block (Q) or support engage spells.
First completed marksman item lets Sivir safely clear waves and threaten plates before Lucian's burst spikes.
Level 6 (R) enables teamfight speed advantage and coordinated all-ins or disengages.

Win conditions

Convert waveclear and (E) blocks into healthy recalls and plate damage before Lucian gets item spikes.
Deny Lucian free farm by punishing his last-hit paths and forcing him under turret.
Use (R) speed boost to join fights and maximize (W) DPS in teamfights after scaling safely.
