Playing as Lissandra
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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 Fiora
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Short trades
Take short trades: each Vital she hits with Duelist's Dance (passive) heals her and speeds her up.
- Wait for her Riposte before your CC
If you have CC, wait until Riposte (W) is used: if it parries an immobilizing effect, her stab stuns you instead of slowing you.
- Trade after her Lunge
Take a trade when Lunge (Q) has just whiffed: without an enemy hit, its cooldown isn't reduced, and it's her only dash.
- Send two to answer her split
Answer her split push with two players rather than alone: in a duel, Grand Challenge (R) reveals four Vitals and speeds her up near her target.
