How to Beat Lissandra as Hwei (Mid)

The Hwei versus Lissandra matchup in the mid lane is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

Key aspects of the Hwei Mid versus Lissandra Mid matchup

Hwei tips:

  • Calm down, breathe, and focus.
  • Each stroke requires precision and intention.

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.
