Lucian Classic Build 26.22

After Lucian uses an ability, his next basic attack becomes a Lightslinger double-shot, so Piercing Light, Ardent Blaze and Relentless Pursuit each set up an extra shot. The AD build follows The Bloodthirster with Phantom Dancer and Infinity Edge, then Blade of The Ruined King.

AD Lucian builds around Lightslinger (P): every ability he casts turns his next basic attack into a double shot, and The Bloodthirster, Phantom Dancer and Infinity Edge supply the attack damage, attack speed, critical strike chance and life steal behind those attacks. Blade of The Ruined King adds more attack speed and life steal plus bonus physical damage based on the target's current health, which keeps his attacks useful against health-heavy frontliners. Guardian Angel finishes the build with armor, magic resist and a revive, a safety net for a carry who gets caught. Berserker's Greaves add attack speed early, and Relentless Pursuit (E) gives him a short dash that also removes slows when he needs to reposition.
