Lucian Discussion help (build, laning, etc..)

So I have been trying to pick up Lucian again as one of my top adc's, and ironically with project lucian, gives me more incentive to learn the tricks of his trade.

Firstly, I want to know how to build the dang guy. The populous and myself say grab item 3031 first, but after that i'm stumped, where the community mixes early item 3134 into item 3142 later or rush second, item 3087 if behind, item 3046 if ahead, item 3078 I have even heard, and item 3153 somewhere if tanks but should get anyways at some point. item 3072 for that shield and item 3139 vs Zed. Any help would be great there.

Secondly, laning, i tend to play passive aggressive, whereby i farm and q them out of lane, focusing more on hitting item 1038 and coming back to gut them than bust everything for a possible first blood early. Is that ok? or should i play more aggressive to push them out more, or passive so i don't have the enemy jungle breathing down my back every time i walk past river in bot lane even with optimal vision.

Thank you for any input

I dont play lucian, so take thing with a grain of salt. With lucian, i would go item 3142 or item 3087 first. If i got a ghostblade, i would go straight into item 3153 and item 3071 , just because of the synergy with his passive. If i got a shiv, i would go item 3031 then item 3035. The reasoning behind this is because, as lucian, you have such a weak early game that you wont win a bf sword race due to people harassing you a bunch. Ghostblade, on the other hand, is cheep and gives a lot of spell focused adcs a pretty big early boost. Shiv is good because it also synergies with burst, mobility and helps you clear waves when you are trying to farm up early.
