How to beat Lissandra as Aurelion Sol: the early game

Levels 1-2 favour Lissandra since her Ice Shard slow at 725 sets up a free step into Ring of Frost, and that 450 root cancels your Breath of Light outright, so she wins most short trades. Levels 3-5 continue the pattern as her combo damage scales while your beam still has too little stardust to punish her aggression. Track Ring of Frost: 10s at rank 1, 8s at rank 5, only 450 range — the root that ends your channel.
