How to win lane as Anivia against Lissandra · 52.18% win rate over 1,282 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lissandra | Lissandra's shielded poke pattern outclasses your kit at level 1, so she wins the opening trade |
| Level 2 | Lissandra | Level 2 stays hers — her passive shield absorbs your damage while she chips you down safely |
| Level 3 | Lissandra | At level 3 her Ice Shard poke and shield economy still out-trade your slower ramp-up |
| Levels 4-5 | Lissandra | Levels 4-5 remain hers since she can poke and shield through anything you throw back |
| Level 6 | Lissandra | Level 6 is still hers — her ult burst plus Glacial Path escape lets her trade risk-free |
| First item | Anivia | 2+ items flips it to you — Storm's scaling damage finally forces her to respect your zone |
| Two+ items | Anivia | Teamfights favor Anivia late — Storm and Egg outlast her burst-and-escape pattern once she's forced to commit |
Lissandra's shielded poke pattern outclasses your early trades — her passive triggers off any hit she takes, absorbing your Flash Frost damage while her Ice Shard chips you down for free, and this holds true from level 1 all the way to 5. You have to play patiently here, avoiding extended trades and using Frostbite mainly for wave clear rather than forcing fights you're likely to lose on raw damage exchange.
