Read from Akshan's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Lissandra.
This is Akshan's own plan; across 3,520 pooled games the lane is leaning Lissandra.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Ice Shard reaches 725; your boomerang reaches 850 and hits on both passes |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Ring of Frost only reaches 450, so she has to walk into your three-hit string |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | She continues to hold the trading edge as her combo remains hard to escape |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Frozen Tomb gives her a full stun-lock kill combo, making level 6 her strongest window |
| Level 6 | Lissandra | Even with items her CC chain still outpaces your damage output in skirmishes |
| First item | Akshan | First item timing does finally tip in your favor as your damage output catches up |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Your execute threshold and disengage let you punish her overextensions late |
Ice Shard (Q) pokes at 725 while your boomerang reaches 850, so she loses the pure range war — her root is Ring of Frost (W) at only 450, which means she has to be on top of you to land it. Glacial Path (E) is the claw she throws and re-activates to travel; it is 24 seconds at rank 1, so a spent claw is twenty-four seconds of lane where she cannot close. Farm safe, punish the claw, and never stand inside 450.
