Lissandra's powerful crowd control and waveclear make her a formidable mid laner. Here's how to effectively counter and play against her:

Top Counters:

• Swain
• Anivia
• Taliyah
• Vel'Koz
• Annie

Laning Phase Strategy:

• Position outside the minion wave to force Lissandra to choose between pushing or poking
• Stay at max range if playing melee champions to avoid her W stun
• Be cautious when last hitting to avoid unnecessary damage
• Post-level 6, maintain adequate vision to prevent jungle ganks

Mid-Late Game Tactics:

• Avoid grouping closely to minimize her AOE damage potential
• Engage when her Ultimate (R) is on cooldown
• Counter her strong waveclear by poking her out of lane
• Split up your team to reduce her engagement effectiveness

Key Power Spikes:

• Level 6: Increased kill pressure and gank setup potential
• First item completion: Enhanced waveclear
• Team fight phase: Maximum AOE impact with Ultimate, W, and Passive

Counter Tips:

• Track her E cooldown for safe engagement windows
• Build Magic Resistance early
• Consider champions with long-range abilities or high mobility
• Coordinate with your jungler for ganks when her escape is down
• Push waves quickly to prevent her from roaming

Related Difficult Matchups:

• Severe counters
• Hard counters
• Additional challenging matchups

Note: Success against Lissandra often depends on proper positioning and cooldown management rather than specific champion picks.
