How to Beat Lissandra as Ahri (Mid)

While statistically Ahri is slightly stronger than Lissandra in the mid lane, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

The magic damage that Ahri deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Lissandra deals primarily magic damage (89.34%), additional magic resistance may be required.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Lissandra, ranking 38th (versus 47th for Ahri) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.4 versus 2.5) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Ahri Mid versus Lissandra Mid matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Ahri player to maintain constant pressure on Lissandra, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Ahri tips:

  • Use Charm to set up your combos, it will make landing Orb of Deception and Fox-Fire dramatically easier.
  • Initiate team fights using Charm, and chase down stragglers with Spirit Rush.
  • Spirit Rush enables Ahri's abilities, it opens up paths for Charm, helps double hitting with Orb of Deception, and closes to make use of Fox-Fire.

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.
