How to win lane as Lissandra against Katarina · 52.34% win rate over 5,753 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | At 1 neither has a combo online, so it's an even skill-based lane. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays skill-driven — she needs daggers, you need Q hits. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Through 3 it remains even as you deny her reset trades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | At 4-5 no ults yet keeps the poke-vs-dagger lane balanced. |
| Level 6 | Lissandra | Frozen Tomb interrupts her R on reaction, so 6 swings to you. |
| First item | Lissandra | Your R uptime and W root keep her all-in shut down through first item. |
| Two+ items | Lissandra | Your point-and-click interrupt remains her worst counter into the late game. |
Skill-based and even through levels 1-4: Katarina wants dagger-reset trades and you want Q pokes, so control the wave, deny her daggers, and never give her a free E-reset on a low trade.
