How to win lane as Annie against Lissandra · 51.79% win rate over 1,176 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is an even skill matchup as Lissandra's poke lacks the burst to truly punish you. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays skill-dependent since neither side has a clear damage advantage yet. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3-5 remains a skill matchup — her mobility helps her disengage but doesn't win trades outright. |
| Levels 4-5 | Annie | Levels 4-5 tilt toward you as your growing burst threat starts to outpace her poke damage. |
| Level 6 | Annie | Level 6 is your peak spike since her self-Tomb only delays your Tibbers combo, not prevents it. |
| First item | Annie | First item still favors you as your burst scaling outpaces her more utility-oriented kit. |
| Two+ items | Annie | 2+ items remains yours in the 1v1 sense, even as she becomes a stronger team-fight disruptor. |
Levels 1-2 are a skill matchup — Lissandra's Ice Shard poke can chip you at range, but her lack of hard burst means you're not in serious danger if you play around minion aggro. This continues through levels 3-5: her Glacial Path gives her safe repositioning and combo potential, but she still needs to commit close to threaten real damage, giving you stun opportunities if you watch her cooldowns.
