The search for a Lucas Jungler counter is in full swing. It’s no surprise, as Lucas Jungler has suddenly become a highly effective option in the competitive scene.

Beyond the usual S-tier assassins that are often prioritized, Lucas Jungler has emerged as a strong alternative. Not only does he have exceptional HP durability, but he also deals significant damage while bringing annoying crowd control effects to the table.

Albert was the first to showcase Lucas Jungler in MPL ID S15 while playing for EVOS, achieving a 100% win rate with him over three weeks.

Since then, more and more players have started picking up Lucas Jungler, proving that he is a viable option—especially due to his strength in team fights and objective control.

So, how do you counter Lucas Jungler? There are several approaches, whether in terms of gameplay or hero picks.

One particularly interesting strategy was revealed by Tazz during his livestream. Aware that he was facing a Lucas Jungler, he opted to play Valentina Jungler instead.

Valentina Can Effectively Counter Lucas Jungler

During his live stream, Tazz conducted an intriguing experiment. Recently, Lucas has been played more frequently as a jungler rather than in the EXP Lane, though the EXP option remains viable.

When Lucas is in the EXP Lane, many players try to counter him with Valentina. She can poke him effectively while also stealing his ultimate—dealing even greater damage and with a shorter cooldown.

Tazz took it a step further by experimenting with Valentina as a jungler to counter Lucas Jungler. And it worked—proving to be an effective counter.

By building full damage and regen items, Valentina can outpace Lucas in farming and mobility. One of her biggest advantages is still the ability to steal Lucas’ ultimate, allowing her to turn his own power against him.

Valentina also excels at kiting. As one of the most mobile mages in the game, she can make it incredibly difficult for Lucas to engage properly.

Will this become a go-to strategy in the competitive scene? Probably not, as executing it is quite challenging. Additionally, if assassins are still available, they remain the best option to outmaneuver fighter junglers like Lucas.
