Tristana vs Lissandra

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use level 2 all-in windows aggressively with support follow-up to punish Lissandra's medium range engage.
Convert winning trades into turret plate damage by stacking (E) and crashing waves.
Avoid passive wave pushes that expose you to Lissandra's root and engage combo.

Trading pattern

Stack (E) fully during committed trades and jump in only with support follow-up or reset confidence.
Punish Lissandra immediately if she uses (E) forward without follow-up by stepping up for burst.
Respect (W) root range; avoid jumping into it without a clear reset or support lockdown.

Danger windows

Respect Lissandra's level 6 (R) lockdown; avoid extended trades when it's available.
Beware of (W) root range; do not jump forward without support ready to follow.
Avoid overextending when your passive wave push leaves you vulnerable to her engage or jungle ganks.

Early game

Push for level 2 with support to threaten jump all-ins before (R) is available.
Thin waves to keep them small, preventing Lissandra from safely using (E) to engage.
Reset after winning trades to maximize turret pressure and deny Lissandra safe farm.

Power spikes

Level 2 spike: (W) jump plus (E) burst enable deadly all-ins before (R) unlocks.
First completed marksman item increases turret pressure and all-in damage, forcing recalls or plates.
Late game, extended range and resets let you punish Lissandra's shorter engage and cooldowns.

Win conditions

Force early level 2 or 3 all-ins with support to snowball lane priority and turret plates.
Use wave crashes post-trade to pressure turret and force Lissandra off the wave.
Leverage (W) resets to dive or escape, enabling aggressive mid-game objective control and picks.
