Lissandra's abilities

Passive, spells and ultimate

Iceborn Subjugation (P)

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 Garen

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Silence, spin, back off

    Trade with Decisive Strike (Q), then Judgment (E), and back off: the Decisive Strike silence stops your opponent from answering with spells.

  2. Stay closest to your opponent

    During Judgment (E), stay closer to your opponent than to their minions: the nearest enemy takes extra damage.

  3. Back off to regenerate

    After a trade, back off until Perseverance (passive) kicks in: without recent damage taken, you regenerate part of your health every second.

  4. Courage just before impact

    Activate Courage (W) just before the bulk of the damage: you first gain a shield and tenacity, then a longer damage reduction.

  5. Save your R to finish

    Save Demacian Justice (R) to finish: its true damage grows with the target's missing health.

Playing against Lissandra

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. 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.

  2. 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).

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
