Early game (levels 1–5)

Level 1-2 Lissandra has no self-root combo yet, so poke freely with Q and avoid overextending. The moment she hits 3 and has E-W online, her root-into-claw trade starts threatening real damage and you should stop trading blade for blade. She has a genuine self-peel tool built in, so all-ins that don't burst her instantly just let her walk away unpunished.
