How it works

Crit Build specific
  1. You are going to be building damage items, going AD and Crit.
  2. You are going to play carry for your team.

How to play

Crit Build specific
  1. Lucian Crit build. You go AD, Attack Speed and of course... Crit!
  2. Don't rush Infinity Edge. Usually go for it as #2 or #3 item.

Tips and Tricks

Riot
  1. For optimal burst, try to combine Relentless Pursuit into Piercing Light.
  2. Ardent Blaze actually explodes in a star pattern. Try to line it up so the spokes hit enemy champions.
  3. Once you have chosen an angle for The Culling, you cannot change it. Pick your moment well!
  4. Because of Lightslinger, Lucian benefits more from Attack Damage than he does from Attack Speed.
