Lissandra's abilities
Passive, spells and ultimate
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 as Rumble
Tips to maximize your impact
- Stay in the Danger Zone
Keep your Heat between 50 and 100%: Junkyard Titan (passive) then empowers your spells, but at 100%, overheating locks them for a few seconds.
- Burn them up close
Stay close during Flamespitter (Q): the cone burns your target for 3 seconds, with damage based on their max health.
- Two harpoons to stick to them
Hit your target with both Electro Harpoon (E) shots: the second slows harder and lowers their magic resist further, which helps keep them in your Flamespitter (Q).
- The Equalizer in a chokepoint
Cast The Equalizer (R) in a chokepoint, on an objective or on their escape route: the trail of fire slows everyone who crosses it and burns them every second.
Playing against Lissandra
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Don't hug her
Don't stand right next to her when Ring of Frost (W) is up: it roots every enemy near her, and it has a 10 to 8 second cooldown.
- Cut off her Glacial Path
If you have CC, land it on her while the claw of Glacial Path (E) is traveling: immobilized, she can't blink to it, or drop on you with Ring of Frost (W).
- Fight back after her claw
After her engage, fight back: Glacial Path (E) has a 24 to 12 second cooldown, and without it, she can't reposition in an instant.
- Save a way out of her R
If you have a cleanse, save it for Frozen Tomb (R): on you, it stuns you, and the ice around you slows your allies.
