Read from Azir's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Lissandra.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1: Ice Shard reaches 725 but your soldier line reaches 740, so spacing wins the level-1 trade. |
| Level 2 | Azir | Level 2: She still lacks the tools to punish your zoning, keeping the early trade advantage in your favor. |
| Level 3 | Lissandra | Level 3: Her combo rhythm (Ice Shard into claw) starts landing more consistently, closing the early gap. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lissandra | Levels 4-5: She's fully capable of punishing any misstep with a full combo, flipping small advantages her way. |
| Level 6 | Lissandra | Level 6: Her ultimate turns her into a near-unavoidable all-in threat that you have no answer to until your own R is online. |
| First item | Azir | First item: Your poke damage starts punishing her long cooldowns hard since she has no answer at range. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | 2+ items: Your R and zone control shut down her one-note dive engage completely, ending her relevance in the matchup. |
Ice Shard reaches 725 but Ring of Frost only 450, so if you keep soldiers up and hold the space between those two numbers you win most early trades — she has to walk in to do real damage. Watch for jungle ganks, since Ring of Frost roots you flat for the follow-up. Keep your spacing disciplined and you out-farm her cleanly here.
