Lissandra vs Aurora

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Lissandra controls the lane by punishing Aurora's low range and dodgable Aurora E with her W root and R lockdown.
Maintain medium lane pressure to deny Aurora safe farming windows and prevent her from setting up picks with mobility.

Trading pattern

Trade when Aurora commits to Aurora E, as its long animation is easy to dodge and punish with W root.
Use Q to poke and force Aurora to stay back, then punish with W and follow up with E plus R if allies can assist.
Avoid extended trades if R is down, as Aurora's burst and mobility become more threatening.

Danger windows

When R is on cooldown, Aurora's burst and mobility can overwhelm Lissandra if caught out.
After Aurora uses Aurora W, she lacks a quick escape; be ready to punish but avoid overextending.
If Lissandra uses E aggressively without follow-up or escape, she can be punished due to its visible travel path.

Early game

Use Q to safely farm and poke while holding W to punish Aurora's attempts to close in.
Avoid engaging without R ready since Aurora can burst with her combo and reposition with Aurora W.
Track Aurora's Aurora W cooldown to exploit her lack of quick escape after it's used.

Power spikes

Lissandra's level 6 R is the strongest spike to lock down Aurora or self-peel from her burst.
Aurora's level 6 Aurora R and first AP burst item increase her kill threat; respect her burst windows.
First completed AP or utility item boosts Lissandra's control and survivability in trades.

Win conditions

Deny Aurora safe farming by controlling wave with Q and punishing her low range with W root.
Use R to lock down Aurora or self-stasis to survive her burst and enable jungle or team follow-up.
Create flank angles with E to engage safely and set up kills with W and R crowd control.
