League of Legends: Lissandra's style of play
These practical tips will help you improve your playing style with the League of Legends hero Lissandra. The mid-lane champion relies on ability strength and can do a lot of damage in a short time.
Lissandra on mid lane
Lissandra is typically played on mid lane. There you try to continuously get "last hits" with her to have enough gold later in the game. With the "Ice Shard" ability, Lissandra can constantly hit the opposing mid-laner. With "Frost Ring" Lissandra freezes enemies in your area and immobilizes them for a short time. Perfect for a jungler gank. "Glacier Path" provides surprises. With this skill, Lissandra can teleport over a short distance, even over narrow walls. The ability does additional damage. The Ultimate "Ice Grave" freezes the enemy for a short time, causing damage to them and slowing down enemies in the area. If you conjure up "ice grave" on Lissandra yourself, it will become invulnerable for a short time, damage and slow down enemies in the area. To always do enough damage with the right skill, you should develop your skills as follows.
- Start with "ice chips" at level 1.
- At level 2 you will skill "Glacier Path".
- Followed by "Frostring" at level 3. After that you should first completely remove "ice splinters", then "Frostring" and finally "Glacier Path".
- Skill your Ultimate whenever possible (Level 6/11/16).
Items for Lissandra
To do damage, Lissandra needs Ability Power Items. At the beginning of a game, however, you should first concentrate on "last hits". Start with the "fairy amulet" and develop it into the "chalice of harmony". So you have a good mana regeneration. With the "catalyst of the protector" you get additional life and mana. This item can be upgraded to the "Staff of the Ages", which also has ability strength. You should also buy the following items.
- Key items: "Rod of Ages", "Liandry's Torment", Athene's Unholy Grail ", " Sorcerer's Shoes "
- Items that should be bought depending on the opponent's setup: "Zhonya's Hourglass", "Hell Scepter", "Void Staff", "Rabadon's Deathcap", "Handle of the Deadfire", "Morellonomicon"

The right runes and championships
Runes for Lissandra are primarily intended to ensure the early farming process. The more last hits you have, the faster you can buy powerful items. Therefore, you should use armor and magic resistance runes. Your championships, on the other hand, are fully geared towards damage and should have 21 points in the offensive tree. So you have increased ability strength right from the start. You should use the following runes and championships.
- Great sign of magic penetration
- Great armor seal
- Great Glyph of Magic Resistance
- Great essence of skill strength
- As a championship cap we recommend: 21/0/9
