How to Beat Lissandra as Yasuo (Mid)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

Except for rare builds, Yasuo deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Meanwhile, Lissandra deals primarily magic damage (89.34%), additional magic resistance may be required.

Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.4 versus 1.6) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Yasuo Mid versus Lissandra Mid matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Yasuo player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Lissandra player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach.

Yasuo tips:

  • Dash through a minion to have Sweeping Blade available to chase your opponent should they flee; Dash directly to your opponent to preserve a minion as your escape route.
  • At level 18, Yasuo's Steel Tempest reaches its Attack Speed cap with 55% Attack Speed from items.
  • Last Breath can be cast on any target that is knocked Airborne, even by one of your allies.

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.
