Who Wins
- Lucian-Yuumi wins pre-6 through superior burst trades and Yuumi's sustain negating your poke damage.
- Post-6 you gain kill threat with R execute combos, but they still win extended trades due to Lucian's mobility and Yuumi's healing.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q rockets for safe farming and poking when Lucian uses E aggressively, then switch to minigun for faster trades when Mel lands E root.
- Focus on stacking W passive during poke exchanges to threaten all-ins when enemies are low.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push waves with Q rockets to deny Lucian's Q through minions, but be ready to thin waves quickly if Mel's Q threatens to crash large waves into tower.
- Maintain minion advantage for easier Mel E setups and to limit Lucian's dash angles.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't get caught in Lucian's E-AA-Q-AA combo range without Mel's W available to reflect his burst.
- Avoid using E traps predictively against mobile champions - save them for follow-up on Mel's E root instead.
