Lux vs Lissandra

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Lux is a long-range artillery mage who wants to control the lane with poke and binding threat to deny Lissandra safe engages.
Apply constant pressure to prevent Lissandra from setting up her W and R lockdown combos or using E to flank.

Trading pattern

Poke with E and punish Lissandra when she oversteps by landing Q into burst combo.
Respect Lissandra W root and R lockdown; avoid extended trades when these are available.
Capitalize on Lissandra's E cooldown by stepping forward to trade aggressively before she can engage or escape.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Lissandra's R is available as she can stun or self-stasis to deny your burst.
Avoid fighting when Lissandra's W root is off cooldown and she can punish melee commits.
Punish Lissandra if she uses E aggressively without safe recast or follow-up, as she becomes vulnerable.

Early game

Use E to poke and zone Lissandra early, forcing her to farm under pressure before level 6.
Avoid reckless Q usage since missing it leaves you vulnerable to Lissandra's engage attempts.
Maintain range control to prevent Lissandra from safely using W root or E engage.

Power spikes

Level 6 R is a major power spike; use it to burst Lissandra before she can lock you down.
First completed mage item increases your poke and burst potential significantly.
Respect Lissandra's level 6 R for her lockdown and self-peel potential, avoiding all-ins without cooldown advantage.

Win conditions

Win lane by landing Q to set up poke and burst combos, denying Lissandra safe engages.
Use superior range to chip Lissandra down before she reaches all-in range.
Control wave and cooldowns to force Lissandra into defensive play, enabling roams or objective pressure.
