Lucian vs Yunara Counter Pick

With 2,639 games recorded on patch 16.13.1, this is one of the better-populated marksman duels available, and the 52.0% result for Lucian reads as a genuine if narrow advantage rather than noise.

Yunara opens with the better spacing tools: 575 attack range against 500, and 2,460 health at level 18 compared to 2,341. What she gives up is pace. Her 325 movement speed trails by a full 10 units and her 55 base attack damage sits below Lucian’s 60. Kanmei’s Steps grants movement speed and ghosting, but it only becomes a true dash inside the Transcendent State from Transcend One’s Self, so her escape is conditional on the ultimate being up. Vow of the First Lands adds bonus magic damage to her critical strikes, which is worth noting for anyone assuming a pure physical damage profile.

Lucian’s advantage is unconditional and front-loaded. Every ability cast converts his next attack into a double shot through Lightslinger, and those hits shorten Relentless Pursuit, so his ability to enter and leave range refreshes throughout a fight rather than once per cooldown. Armor purchases are symmetrical between two physical damage carries, leaving the trade math to whoever lands first. Ratings of 4 for Yunara and 6 for Lucian suggest the reward for the harder champion is small but consistent. Her kit is broken down on the Yunara champion page.
