Lissandra's abilities

Passive, spells and ultimate

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 as Smolder

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Last-hit minions with your fireball

    Last-hit minions with Super Scorcher Breath (Q): each kill with the spell gives you a Dragon Practice (passive) stack, which empowers your basic spells.

  2. Poke with your sneeze

    Poke with Achooo! (W): the sneeze slows, explodes on champions hit, and each champion hit gives you a Dragon Practice stack.

  3. Aim for the final tier

    Build enough stacks for the final tier of Super Scorcher Breath (Q): it burns its target, and kills a champion who drops below a health threshold.

  4. Take flight to escape

    Escape or reposition with Flap, Flap, Flap (E): you fly over obstacles, bombarding the enemy with the lowest health.

  5. Call your mom from far away

    Cast MMOOOMMMM! (R) to finish or slow from far away: the center of the breath hits harder and slows, and if it hits you, your mom heals you.

Playing against Lissandra

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. 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.

  2. 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).

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
