Playing against Lissandra
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Her E (claw) is visible — if you see it pass by, prepare for an engage in the next few seconds.
Lissandra is weak in sustained DPS: if you survive her initial burst, she has very little left.
Her W (root) is centered around her: don't get close to her in melee without an escape plan.
Cleanse or QSS can cancel her R if she casts it on you — very useful for carries.
