Ziggs vs Lucian

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use (Q) and (E) to poke Lucian from max range, denying his short-range trades.
Prioritize waveclear to punish Lucian's attempts to crash or roam early.
Save (W) for disengage or turret execute to avoid Lucian's burst all-ins.

Trading pattern

Poke with (Q) from outside Lucian's dash range and zone with (E) minefield.
Avoid using (W) aggressively unless turret execute is guaranteed to prevent engage.
Punish Lucian's short trades by hitting him during his (E) cooldown window.

Danger windows

Respect (E) dash when his support is ready to engage; avoid standing close.
After using (W), Ziggs is vulnerable; reposition quickly to avoid Lucian's burst trades.
Beware of (R) following forced movement or cooldowns spent; sidestep to avoid damage.

Early game

Contest level 2 trades by using (Q) poke before Lucian can dash in with (E).
Thin waves early to prevent Lucian from engaging safely with support setup.
Avoid extended fights pre-item; focus on safe poke and wave control.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) unlocks strong long-range burst; use it to secure picks or force Lucian back.
First mage poke item enhances (W) cooldown; pressure waves and trades more confidently.
Post-item power spike lets you punish Lucian's shorter range and weaker sustained trades.

Win conditions

Convert poke and waveclear advantage into turret plate damage with (W) executes.
Use (R) to influence bot-side fights and secure objectives when Lucian is pressured.
Deny Lucian's early all-in windows by maintaining distance and punishing cooldowns with (Q) and (E).

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