How to play Lucian in ARAM Mayhem

Lucian is a strong pick in ARAM Mayhem on patch 26.21: tier A, #43 of 173 champions, with a 51.3% win rate over 3,040,649 games. It is also one of the most picked champions, showing up in 13% of games, so expect to see it on both sides.

86% of Lucian's damage to champions is physical, so enemy armor is what slows it down. It deals 44,636 damage to champions in an average game, more than most champions, so play to stay alive and keep hitting. It brings almost no crowd control, so it relies on teammates to set up kills.

The Crit build, critical strike and attack speed items, is both the most played and the top-ranked path: The Collector, Infinity Edge and Axiom Arc, with a 52.2% win rate over 2,362,873 games. On this build 45% of players skip boots and spend the slot on another item.

The cards that do best on Lucian are Weapon of Destiny, Jeweled Gauntlet and Vulnerability. Cards built around critical strikes fill most of the top of its list, followed by movement speed. Most of its S-tier cards are prismatic, so a prismatic offer is often the pick that shapes the game. Skip Earthwake and From Downtown when you can: they do worst on Lucian. A pair to look for: Jeweled Gauntlet with Big Shot.

Take Flash and Ghost (63% of players). Max Q (Piercing Light) first, then E, then W.
