Lissandra's abilities
Passive, spells and ultimate
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.

Playing as Ezreal
Tips to maximize your impact
- Land as many Qs as you can
Land Mystic Shot (Q) as often as you can: each hit lowers all your cooldowns and adds a Rising Spell Force (passive) stack.
- Detonate the orb with a spell
Detonate Essence Flux (W) with a spell rather than an auto: the orb deals its damage either way, but a spell refunds its mana cost plus a bonus.
- Save your E to escape
Save Arcane Shift (E) to escape unless the kill is certain: it's your only way to reposition, on a 26 to 14 second cooldown.
- Finish across the map
Cast Trueshot Barrage (R) across the map to finish a fleeing target: it hits everything in its line, but deals less to minions and non-epic monsters.
Playing against Lissandra
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Don't hug her
Don't stand right next to her when Ring of Frost (W) is up: it roots every enemy near her, and it has a 10 to 8 second cooldown.
- Cut off her Glacial Path
If you have CC, land it on her while the claw of Glacial Path (E) is traveling: immobilized, she can't blink to it, or drop on you with Ring of Frost (W).
- Fight back after her claw
After her engage, fight back: Glacial Path (E) has a 24 to 12 second cooldown, and without it, she can't reposition in an instant.
- Save a way out of her R
If you have a cleanse, save it for Frozen Tomb (R): on you, it stuns you, and the ice around you slows your allies.
