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 Cassiopeia

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her poison

    Dodge Noxious Blast (Q): without poison on you, Twin Fang (E) deals much less damage and doesn't heal her.

  2. Walk around her clouds

    Walk around the Miasma (W) clouds: inside, you're slowed and can't use dashes or jumps.

  3. Turn your back on her R

    Turn your back to her when she casts Petrifying Gaze (R): facing her, you're stunned; facing away, you're only slowed.
