Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 as Lissandra's Q outranges your Q and Caitlyn can follow up on any E engages with superior range.
- Post-6 becomes even worse as Lissandra's R creates guaranteed picks that you cannot counter.
Synergy & Trading
- Use empowered Q for poke when enemies are farming, then immediately E yourself or Jhin to disengage from retaliation.
- Look for W tether opportunities when Jhin lands his W root for extended CC chains.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam after pushing waves level 3-5 when Lissandra lacks her ultimate engage.
- Best timings are when your wave is pushing and enemies are low on mana from trading.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste empowered abilities on waveclear as you need the empowered E for trades and escapes.
- Avoid using E aggressively for engages as Lissandra's E-W combo will punish you harder than you can punish them.
