Who Wins
- Pre-6: You lose early trades due to Lissandra's superior range and burst with Q-W combo, but can start winning around level 4-5 when you have multiple points in Q for better E-Q waveclear and sustained damage.
- Post-6: You win extended 1v1s if you can avoid her initial burst, as your DPS output with E-Q combos and movement speed from passive outscales her cooldown-gated damage.
How to Trade
- Look for E-Q poke when she uses Q on minions, then immediately back off to avoid her W-Q retaliation since your E-Q outranges her W.
- In extended trades, use E-W root to lock her down and follow with multiple Q casts while kiting with your passive movement speed.
Wave Control
- Push waves with E-Q combo to match her waveclear and prevent her from roaming, but be careful not to overextend since you're vulnerable to ganks without your R up.
- Focus on building a CS lead through superior late-game scaling rather than trying to kill her directly.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use R aggressively for all-ins since Lissandra can easily interrupt the channel with her W or follow you with her own R engage.
- Avoid trading when your passive stacks are down, as you lose significant DPS and mobility without the cooldown reduction and movement speed.
