Who Wins

Pre-6, you and Lucian are roughly even in poke range but Lucian's level 2 all-in with E-passive is dangerous if you miss your W — Milio's shield absorbs your Q damage and his E cleanses your W sleep, which is your primary kill threat.
Post-6, Yunara's R changes the dynamic significantly in extended fights, but your kill pressure actually decreases if Milio uses E to cleanse your sleep, so you need to bait out Milio's E before committing to a full combo.

Throw your W at max range to force Milio to either E-cleanse it (burning his cooldown) or let Yunara walk onto the slept target — once Milio's E is on cooldown, a full W-sleep into Yunara R is a near-guaranteed kill on Lucian.
Do not waste your W on Milio; Lucian is the kill target because he has no cleanse and is the damage threat.

You should roam when Milio is recalled or dead and the wave is pushed — your W sleep through walls makes river skirmishes extremely dangerous for enemies, and mid lane mages are highly vulnerable to your one-shot pattern.
Avoid roaming when Lucian has priority and can dive Yunara, since she is immobile pre-6 and cannot survive a 1v2.

Do not spam Q poke mindlessly into Milio's shield — you are burning mana and dealing reduced damage while Milio builds passive stacks and sustains your poke for free.
Respect that Milio's E cleanse hard-counters your win condition, and play around cooldown tracking rather than forcing plays into a full-resource Milio.
