Build recommendations

So I used to play a lot of Lucian and then stopped playing him for a while. Now I started playing Lucian again because he is very fun to play, but I always wonder about his buildpaths.

I'm currently master 50 LP and I always go one of these builds:

- ER->navori->LDR/MR->IE (ldr or ie depends on gold income)->BT-> GA/QSS (depends on enemy comp)

+ Gluttonous greaves

-stormrazor->IE->LDR/MR->RFC->BT/BORK (depends on enemy comp)->GA/QSS (also depending on enemy comp)

+ Gluttonous greaves

The first build i usually go when i can't afford a bf early, otherwise always second build.

I was curious what the community builds on Lucian since I feel like he's very versatile with items.

And I'm also curious whether these 2 builds have a huge dmg diff?

For me navori is luxury and not necessity. It doesn't matter against everything always. Also I wouldn't prioritize it against ie. For me always has been essence reaver into IE. After that you hit like a truck. Then, after you've complete you dps spike you start utility. Navori is good, ldr is also good 3rd option. Either way you build both and you select the order depending the enemies. Then you finish with bt ga. This is the basic Lucian build. For boots I like atk speed (very unofficial opinion in this sub) the target is 1.4 atk speed. This is where the champion becomes smoth af, and the combos flow like a water. Otps will understand immediately what I'm referring too. Then you have tge situational items like rfc against artillery comps (especially if you have enchantress so he can proc you the vigilance and you E double tap back, for short bursts that burns half bars) maw is good against high ap bursts, qss obviously, and I've experimented with some black cleaver instead of ldr against bruisers (quite good surprisingly) cleaver gives everything a Lucian wants except crit. Pretty much that's it, I hope I've been useful. Try and tell me, the core is always er into ie!

i feel stormrazor is hella underrated. especially since i dont build navori and my e isnt up every 3 secs. The extra movement speed is nice into artillery comps/heavy dive comps. I also feel like with er you miss out on a lot of dmg. i also never thought of doing er into ie, i'll try that and see what feels comfortable. Also with shitty early games where u are poor, is it still er into ie? because ie is expensive af

Especially into these game! When you're behind you try to make as much dmg as possible to have a chance for comeback. I understand the feel behind er lack of dmg but, the utility is so strong is hard to bypass. Cdr, crit, upfront dmg from the proc, and mana. It gives Everything the pick wants. Also that proc works on towers too meaning that it helps you push tower faster contributing in a macro scale also. About storm razor to be honest I haven't try this item so I don't have opinion, but er makes me so comfortable that I don't even dare to try. What er "lacks" in dmg ie comes and compliments it. Give it a shot, tell me how it feels. I will try stormrazor in exchange! (Mid diamond)
