Playing as Lissandra

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Poke through a minion

    Cast Ice Shard (Q) through a minion: the spear shatters on it, and its shards damage and slow the champion behind.

  2. Flank with your claw

    Engage from the flank with Glacial Path (E): recast it to blink to the claw, then root nearby enemies with Ring of Frost (W).

  3. Ult yourself if you get focused

    If you're getting focused, cast Frozen Tomb (R) on yourself: you become untargetable for a moment, heal based on your missing health, and the ice slows enemies around you.

  4. Fight where they fall

    Stay in the heart of teamfights: Iceborn Subjugation (passive) turns an enemy champion who dies near you into a Frozen Thrall, which slows, then explodes.

Playing against Aatrox

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Avoid the edge of his blade

    Stick to him or step out of range when he casts The Darkin Blade (Q): only the edge, at the end of each swing, knocks you into the air and deals full damage.

  2. Get out of his chains fast

    Leave the Infernal Chains (W) zone before it closes, with a dash if you have one: otherwise you get pulled back to the impact point and take the damage again.

  3. Trade after his blade

    Take a trade right after the three swings of The Darkin Blade (Q): it's his only knock-up, with a 14 to 6 second cooldown depending on rank.

  4. Short trades

    Take short trades: Umbral Dash (E) heals him for part of all the damage he deals to champions, so a long trade favors him.

  5. Respect his level 6

    Once he hits level 6, back off when he casts World Ender (R): he gains AD and increased healing, and every takedown extends its duration.
