How to win lane as Annie against Lissandra · 50.05% win rate (2,358 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
She out-ranges you — but a stocked stun makes every step into your Flash radius a coin she can't afford to flip.
Track: Lissandra's E — Glacial Path (Claw, 24–12s cooldown). Her engage and escape in one button — she is immobile while it is down.
Read from Annie's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Lissandra.
This is Annie's own plan; across 2,358 pooled games the lane is even.
| 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 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 tilt toward you as your growing burst threat starts to outpace her poke damage. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | 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 | Even / skill | 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.
