Overview

Lucien, the Light Elven Ranger, is a Natural 3★ Attack-type monster in Summoners War. Summoners War Lucien Light Elven Ranger is best known for his early accessibility and utility in the early-to-mid game. He can be obtained through Light & Darkness Scrolls, Temple of Wishes, or specific missions like Agitated Garen Forest. Once awakened, Lucien gains a useful 15% Attack Speed leader skill, making him viable in early PvP and Guild Battle teams. His skill set revolves around crowd control and burst damage.

His first skill, Strafe, fires 2–3 shots based on Critical Rate, dealing decent damage. Ankle Shot, his second skill, has an 80% chance to stun the enemy and grants Lucien an extra turn if the stun lands — allowing a powerful combo into Steady Shot, his third skill. Steady Shot deals heavy single-target damage, which increases by 50% if the target is stunned, frozen, or asleep, making the stun combo highly effective. His base stats are typical for a 3★ unit — relatively low HP and defense, making survivability a concern. However, with the right runes and positioning, Lucien can provide solid value.

How to Obtain

Temple of Wishes

Light and Darkness Scroll

You can obtain Lucien (Light Elven Ranger) in the following ways:

Scroll of Light & Darkness

• The primary method of obtaining Lucien is through the Scroll of Light & Darkness (L&D Scroll), which has a chance to summon any Light or Dark 3★ monster or higher.
• Since Lucien is a Natural 3★ monster, he’s relatively common among L&D summons compared to rarer 4★ or 5★ units.

Temple of Wishes

• Lucien can appear as a summonable unit from the Temple of Wishes.
• However, the chances of pulling a specific monster like Lucien are very low due to the wide summon pool.

Strategy

Lucien is best used as a single-target burst damage dealer with built-in crowd control, making him a strong pick in early PvP content like Guild Battles and World Arena. His strategy revolves around using Skill 2 (Ankle Shot) to stun an enemy, which grants him an immediate extra turn. This sets up Skill 3 (Steady Shot) to deal 50% bonus damage if the enemy is incapacitated (stunned, frozen, or asleep), creating a high-impact two-turn combo. His first skill (Strafe) serves as a filler damage tool that can hit up to three times, scaling with his Crit Rate. This synergy makes Lucien effective at quickly removing key enemies, especially if he gets the first move.

For runes, early-game players should use Fatal + Blade with ATK% on slot 2 and 6, and Crit Rate% on slot 4 to maximize early burst potential. As you progress, Violent + Revenge or Violent + Blade becomes more effective, giving him more chances to recycle his combo. Prioritize stats in the following order: Crit Rate (aim for 70–80%), then Crit Damage, ATK%, Speed, and Accuracy to reliably land stuns. Lucien also serves as a 15% Speed Leader, helping your team outspeed enemies early on.

In PvP, Lucien fits well into early Guild Battle teams when paired with ATB boosters like Bernard or Fran, and defense breakers like Belladeon. He also works with units that control enemy movement or apply harmful effects, allowing his Steady Shot to hit even harder. While he has some utility in early Trial of Ascension (ToA) stages as a single-target CC dealer, he’s less effective in PvE dungeons due to his lack of AoE and team utility. He can farm low-level maps solo, but struggles in late-game PvE and high-tier Arena due to his fragile base stats.

To make the most of Lucien, fully skill him up to improve cooldowns and stun reliability. He excels in early control teams that rely on stuns and quick kills but should be phased out later as stronger monsters take his place. Avoid using him in areas that require AoE or sustained damage. Overall, Lucien is a fun, tactical Light unit that shines early on through stun combos and burst damage, particularly when used with a supportive, speed-based team.

Strength and Weakness

Strength: Lucien’s greatest strength lies in his burst damage combo and his ability to chain turns through crowd control. His Skill 2, which can stun and grant an extra turn if successful, allows him to immediately follow up with Skill 3, a high-multiplier attack that deals even more damage if the target is stunned, frozen, or asleep. This makes him highly effective at quickly eliminating key enemy units, especially in early PvP content like Guild Battles and Arena.

Weakness: While Lucien offers strong early-game value, he suffers from several significant weaknesses that limit his long-term viability. His biggest drawback is his fragile base stats, especially his low HP and defense, making him very easy to kill in both PvP and PvE settings.

Synergy

Lucien synergizes best with teams that support his turn-cycling combo, increase his damage potential, or boost his speed to secure the first move. Because his Skill 2 depends on landing a stun to trigger an extra turn, Lucien works well with allies that provide crowd control or turn advantage, such as Bernard (for attack bar boost and speed buff), Fran (for attack buff and immunity), or Megan (for buffs and speed lead).

These units not only help Lucien go first, but also increase the likelihood that his follow-up damage from Skill 3 will be lethal. He also pairs effectively with defense breakers like Belladeon, Lushen, or Galleon, as landing a defense break before Lucien uses Steady Shot significantly amplifies his burst. Additionally, Lucien benefits from control-based allies—monsters that freeze, sleep, or stun enemies—since Skill 3 deals bonus damage to incapacitated targets.

Using him in teams with Violent or Revenge runes can further enhance his synergy by allowing more frequent stuns and follow-ups. Overall, Lucien fits naturally into speed-cleave, single-target nuke, or control-based PvP teams, and is most effective when his allies either set up or follow through on his crowd control and damage.
