Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range and Zilean's E speed boost enabling safe poke, but Lucian+Nami can all-in you if caught out of position.
- Post-6 you maintain advantage as your R pairs well with Zilean's R for picks, while their dive potential remains dangerous but more predictable.
Synergy & Trading
- Use your range to auto-attack when Lucian goes for CS, then immediately step back as Zilean uses E on you for repositioning.
- When Zilean lands Q, follow up with Q+auto combo since the slow makes it easier to land your abilities and extend trades.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push early waves with Q to establish range advantage and force Lucian to farm under tower where he's less effective.
- Maintain slow pushes to build minion advantages for trades, but avoid hard shoving when Zilean's E is down as you'll be vulnerable to Nami engage.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use E aggressively for damage when Nami has Q available, as getting caught without your escape against their all-in potential is often fatal.
- Avoid standing in minion waves against Lucian's Q poke, especially when you're trying to harass him.
