I have about 450+ games on Lucian, so here's my input on it: The stats you again from this build(feel free to double check items) are: 270 AD(342 with rune) 100% CDR 550 mana 650 health 40% attack speed 5% movement speed I admit, these stats are better than i expected, but i do see a few flaws.

This build does lack in a way to deal with heavy tanks, While yes Cleaver is nice, ghost blade doesn't really help with the tank shred, the standard build has bother a BORK and a LW item if it needs one, that gives a MUCH better tank shred than this build.
Triforce isn't that bad of an item on lucian, the problem is you want to BURST someone with him, meaning you E-AA-W-AA-Q-AA-E-AA as fast as you can, not try and wait for a triforce proc, i've tested out the DPS on lucian with dif builds(Crit, Tri, Pen) and found that tri does have better DPS, but only by about 100, but it takes much longer to pull off, and in that time, you may die due to divers.
It's hard to replace an item for GA. GA is one of, if not THE most important items for a carry. You get 2 chance's in a fight, compared to 1, and that 2nd chance can be the make or break of a game. 3.5 It's an all or nothing build, there is no room for any defensive items(Maw, GA, QSS, Ninja/Merc boots), so if you need to live, that build won't help you with that.

I may try that build out in a few normal games, and let you know how i feel about it.

yeah try it out, i'm just using it in normals too

you're right though, this is a very early-mid game focused build but from what i've experienced, the later the game goes, BC and DD felt like they were enough to help me survive long enough to deal the damage that i need to do. and i also save ghostblade active to help me kite

i'll wait for ur input aha

Alright, played 3 games, 2/1 Game 1 was nothing special, just got REALLY far ahead in lane and ended game 11/1/10m only got up to a tri Game 2 faced a mundo, i found that i had that problem of trying to kill a tank was true, i had a hell of a hard time killing him, ended game 15/3 only got cleaver components Game 3 was a loss, all i need to say is yas is a bitch to face and a 800 damage Garen Q, i tried swapping Tri for a cleaver in the build, didn't really help that much So things that i've found: I noticed that you have 2 phage items, it's not exactly all that important, but it is wasting a slot for another item The tri was hard to play around, when the thing about Lucian is to spam your abilities to get an E up, i feel like that tri stops that idea. If i don't use the tri, i feel like it's a wasted item, but it was strange not dashing around everywhere. You can't kill tanks that well, and this build is hard to pull off that much DPS when behind(but that's just lucian)

Never really got the full build, but i feel like Tri kinda defeats the purpose of Lucian. While i never got to play with DD, i feel like BT is just overall better, you're weaving Autos into the combos already + it's a double hit and you get the healing twice. While i get the purpose of the build, i feel like there are just better builds out there. If you like the build and want to keep some things in there, replace the Tri with a GA/LW item swap them out. but then you're down to only 80% CDR, that's only 48 more AD. And truthfully, if you like the cleaver/Ghostblade just go with the older lucian build( item 3508 item 3071 item 3142 item 3072 item 3026 [swap for item 3036 / item 3033 when down} and then boots of some kind. It's not that bad of a build, and an interesting concept, but lucian may be the wrong champ for it. An older Zed build took that idea to the next level, you were a tank with a double cleaver getting about 300 AD and had mobility.
