What makes Lissandra dangerous
Lissandra pokes with shattering ice, roots with slow claws (W is a point-blank AoE root), gap-closes with a re-usable claw dash (E), and her ultimate either entombs YOU for the team kill — or freezes HERSELF untargetable while healing. Anti-assassin and anti-dive in one kit.
How to play against Lissandra
- 1Bait the self-ult before committing — after it she's just a slow mage.
- 2Her E claw travels slowly — punish its flight before she blinks.
- 3Stay out of W range: the point-blank root chains everything.
- 4QSS the entomb on your carry.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓Short range for a mage — poke her from beyond claw distance.
- ✓Predictable engage pattern (E-flash-W).
- ✓Once both ults and E are down she's immobile.
- ✓Modest sustained damage — survive the burst window.
Abilities & how to counter them
What each of Lissandra's abilities does — and how to play around it.
P
Yugo de la Hija del HieloCuando un campeón enemigo muere cerca de Lissandra, se convierte en un esclavo congelado. Los esclavos congelados ralentizan a los enemigos cercanos y, tras unos instantes, se hacen trizas por el intenso frío, lo que inflige daño mágico a objetivos cercanos.
Strong: dead enemies become frost mines that slow and burst. Weak: mines are visible — clear the area before walking over corpses.
Q
Fragmento de hieloDispara una lanza de hielo que se divide cuando impacta en un enemigo, infligiendo daño mágico y reduciendo la velocidad de movimiento. Los fragmentos atraviesan al objetivo, infligiendo el mismo daño a los demás enemigos impactados.
Strong: a shattering slow-poke that clears waves cheaply. Weak: short range for a mage — punish her farming walk-ups.
W
Anillo de escarchaCongela a los enemigos cercanos, infligiendo daño mágico e inmovilizándolos.
Strong: a point-blank AoE ROOT — the anti-dive panic button. Weak: tiny radius — poke from just outside it.
E
Camino glacialLissandra crea una garra de hielo que inflige daño mágico. Volver a usar esta habilidad transporta a Lissandra a la posición de la garra.
Strong: a claw she can re-cast to blink across walls. Weak: the claw travels slowly — punish her before the blink completes.
R
Tumba heladaSi se lanza sobre un campeón enemigo, lo congela, dejándolo aturdido. Si se lanza sobre Lissandra, se encierra en Hielo Oscuro, de forma que se cura, pasa a ser invulnerable e imposibilita cualquier acción enemiga sobre ella. Del objetivo emana Hielo Oscuro, que inflige daño mágico y reduce la velocidad de movimiento de los enemigos.
Strong: entombs YOU for a team kill — or freezes HER untargetable and healing. Weak: the self-cast is bait-able; QSS answers the enemy cast.
Itemization
MR + spacing beyond claw range. Bait the defensive ult; QSS for the offensive one.
