Lissandra Mid guide

Lissandra mid is a lockdown mage built around Ring of Frost (W), Ice Shard (Q), and Frozen Tomb (R): root with Ring of Frost (W), fire Ice Shard (Q) through the rooted target, then land Frozen Tomb (R) for the stun, with Glacial Path (E) as the dash in and back out.

The build

Rune page: Electrocute, Cheap Shot, Grisly Mementos, and Ultimate Hunter (Domination), with Transcendence and Manaflow Band (Sorcery). Summoners: Flash and Teleport. Skill order opens Ice Shard (Q), Ring of Frost (W), Glacial Path (E), then maxes Ice Shard (Q) first with Ring of Frost (W) second. Starter: Doran's Ring and two Health Potions, into Sorcerer's Shoes. Core build: Malignance, Shadowflame, Zhonya's Hourglass, with Hextech Rocketbelt, Rabadon's Deathcap, and Dark Seal as later options.

Ability mechanics

Ring of Frost (W) freezes nearby enemies in ice, dealing magic damage and rooting them. Ice Shard (Q) throws a spear of ice that shatters on hit, slowing Move Speed and passing through the target to hit others behind it. Frozen Tomb (R) stuns an enemy target solid, or cast on herself encases her in dark ice, healing her while she becomes untargetable and invulnerable before the ice radiates out to slow and damage nearby enemies. Iceborn Subjugation (passive) turns a champion who dies near her into a Frozen Thrall that slows nearby enemies before shattering for magic damage.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Viktor, Zed, Sylas, Ahri, Katarina. Best matchups: Yasuo, Fizz, Locke.
