Lissandra lore:

Lissandra's magic twists the pure power of ice into something dark and terrible. With the force of her black ice, she does more than freeze—she impales and crushes those who oppose her. To the terrified denizens of the north, she is known only as ''The Ice Witch.'' The truth is much more sinister: Lissandra is a corruptor of nature who plots to unleash an ice age on the world.

Lissandra tips:

  • You can instantly use your ultimate on yourself by pressing the self cast key and the ultimate key at once (alt+R by default).
  • Casting Glacial Path and then running in the opposite direction will leave your enemies uncertain which way you will actually go.
  • Lissandra's abilities are shorter range than those of many mages. As a result, buying items that offer both ability power and defense, like Zhonya's Hourglass and Banshee's Veil, can be a great choice to help her both survive and deal damage.

Playing Against Lissandra

  • The best way to stop Lissandra from moving using her Glacial Path is to immobilize her before she reactivates it.
  • Lissandra's Ring of Frost has a long cooldown at early ranks; engage her while it's on cooldown.
  • Lissandra's Ice Shard only slows the first unit it hits. Approach Lissandra from behind your team's minions to avoid being slowed.

Lissandra abilities description:

Iceborn Subjugation
P
Iceborn Subjugation (passive)
When an enemy champion dies near Lissandra they become a Frozen Thrall. Frozen Thralls slow nearby enemies and then, after a delay, shatter from the intense cold, dealing magic damage to nearby targets.
Ice Shard
Q
Ice Shard (Q)
Throws a spear of ice that shatters when it hits an enemy, dealing magic damage and slowing Move Speed. Shards pass through the target, dealing the same damage to other enemies hit.
Ring of Frost
W
Ring of Frost (W)
Freezes nearby enemies in ice, dealing magic damage and rooting them.
Glacial Path
E
Glacial Path (E)
Lissandra creates an ice claw that deals magic damage. Reactivating this ability transports Lissandra to the claw's current location.
Frozen Tomb
R
Frozen Tomb (R)
If cast on an enemy champion, the target is frozen solid, stunning it. If cast on Lissandra, she encases herself in dark ice, healing herself while becoming untargetable and invulnerable. Dark ice then emanates from the target dealing magic damage to enemies and slowing Move Speed.
