So on Lucian and Senna...

CaptainAntiHeroz··4 votes·2,041 views

Did Thresh kill Senna, or just put her in his lantern. Plus if he did kill her then is Lucian just aimlessly hunting Thresh for revenge, or does he have a plan to get her back.... Or will he just take the lantern so she can be at his side? Because I'm kinda getting that vayne feel of "this one thing happened, so now all y'all gonna die".

Thresh did both, since the act of having one's soul removed pretty much kills them. Originally Lucian thought she was just dead, but with the recent revelation that her soul endures in Thresh's Lantern, his goal is to free her. This then leads to the plan of killing Thresh and destroying the lantern.

Which leads me to the natural question: why does Lucian not just lure Thresh into an ambush and shoot the lock off the lantern? Even if Lucian should fail the first time, he could just run away and try again later, perhaps even trailing Thresh and trying again every few days until finally landing the shot.

The only bad outcomes could be:

  1. Thresh outplaying Lucian by luring him into an ambush after the first failed attempt. Lucian already takes this risk by pursuing Thresh anyway.
  2. Hitting and piercing the window of the lantern to damage the souls inside. Again, Lucian already takes this risk by shooting at Thresh.
  3. Discovering that evil steel is harder than holy bullets after wasting weeks pounding the lock. However, would Thresh not know this better than Lucian and have armored himself accordingly?

In order to ambush, you have to either lure an enemy to a proper location or go to where you know they will appear and wait in that one spot they will inevitably walk through.

Here's teh problem. Thresh is a spectre and doesn't need passage ways. That, and Lucian will always go to Thresh because he can't just throw a bait to get the Warden to walk in. Thresh doesn't abide by human reasoning. Unless you're offering your own soul to bring him in, that shit's not going to work.

Thresh might not have to play by the rules of reality, but he sure loves tormenting and gloating, so Lucian could just stake out the houses of Thresh’s victims and await the inevitable monologue. We can go at this all day, though, but my point is that blindly chasing Thresh shows a lack of... creativity... in Lucian’s pursuit of something about which he clearly cares.

Mf asked him to stay and help with the war that bringing down gp had caused, and Lucian was basically like "yeeeeeeah but I still haven't beaten thresh even though he nearly stole my soul, so I'ma dip and go hunt him down" basically
