Irelia vs Lissandra

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Irelia controls the lane by using Q resets on low-health minions to extend trades and pressure Lissandra.
Prioritize maintaining wave states that enable Q mobility and punish Lissandra when her W and R are down.

Trading pattern

Stack passive and use Q resets to close distance, committing only when E or R marks Lissandra for stun and damage.
Respect Lissandra W root and R lockdown; avoid all-ins when these are available.
Punish Lissandra after she uses E forward without a safe recast or when R is down to force extended fights.

Danger windows

Avoid fighting when Lissandra R is ready, as her lockdown can turn trades.
Be cautious when Lissandra W root is off cooldown; it punishes melee commits.
If Q reset paths are denied or E/R miss, Irelia becomes vulnerable to counter-engage.

Early game

At level 2 with Q and E, look to stun Lissandra when she approaches for poke and follow up with Q resets.
Avoid committing without passive stacks or a clear Q reset path to prevent being rooted by Lissandra W.
Use minion waves to dodge Lissandra Q poke and force her to waste cooldowns before engaging.

Power spikes

Level 2 with Q and E grants strong all-in threat with stun and resets.
Level 6 R enhances engage and zone control, making all-ins more deadly.
First completed fighter item significantly boosts damage and sustain in trades.

Win conditions

Use wave control to create Q reset paths and force Lissandra into extended trades where you can stun and burst.
Capitalize on Lissandra's cooldowns, especially after she uses E or R, to all-in confidently.
Convert successful all-ins into side pressure or roams to snowball advantage beyond lane.

Tip: For Irelia vs Lissandra, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
