Lissandra's abilities

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 against Lissandra

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Her E (claw) is visible — if you see it pass by, prepare for an engage in the next few seconds.

2

Lissandra is weak in sustained DPS: if you survive her initial burst, she has very little left.

3

Her W (root) is centered around her: don't get close to her in melee without an escape plan.

4

Cleanse or QSS can cancel her R if she casts it on you — very useful for carries.
