Lissandra the Ice Witch

Lissandra's magic twists the pure power of ice into something dark and terrible. With the force of her black ice, she does more than freeze—she impales and crushes those who oppose her. To the terrified denizens of the north, she is known only as ''The Ice Witch.'' The truth is much more sinister: Lissandra is a corruptor of nature who plots to unleash an ice age on the world.

MetaBot Tips

  • Lissandra has a much higher late game win rate than their early game win rate. Take advantage of this by spending the early game farming and avoiding unneccessary fights.
  • Lissandra has a low base movespeed compared to many other champions. Play back towards your tower in lane, and consider early game boots when fighting skillshot-based laners.
  • Lissandra has more base armor than most champions, which makes them excellent in the early game against attack damage type enemies.
  • Lissandra has more base attack damage than most champions, so they should be trading autos aggressively in lane.

Gameplay Tips

Playing Lissandra

  • You can instantly use your ultimate on yourself by pressing the self cast key and the ultimate key at once (alt+R by default).
  • Casting Glacial Path and then running in the opposite direction will leave your enemies uncertain which way you will actually go.
  • Lissandra's abilities are shorter range than those of many mages. As a result, buying items that offer both ability power and defense, like Zhonya's Hourglass and Banshee's Veil, can be a great choice

Playing Against Lissandra

  • The best way to stop Lissandra from moving using her Glacial Path is to immobilize her before she reactivates it.
  • Lissandra's Ring of Frost has a long cooldown at early ranks; engage her while it's on cooldown.
  • Lissandra's Ice Shard only slows the first unit it hits. Approach Lissandra from behind your team's minions to avoid being slowed.
