Read from Lissandra's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Orianna.
This is Lissandra's own plan; across 3,405 pooled games the lane is leaning Lissandra.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even as both farm and it hinges on dodging Orianna's ball poke. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays skill-based since her range trades against your ability to space with E. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 remains even: her Q-W poke is answered by patient farming and dodging. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are still a skill spacing duel around her ball versus your gap-close threat. |
| Level 6 | Lissandra | Level 6 flips to you: your ball-independent self-R engages an immobile Orianna she can't peel. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item stays yours by forcing all-ins on her ball cooldowns that her kit can't disengage. |
| Two+ items | Lissandra | With 2+ items you keep the edge: your point-and-click engage beats her reactive shockwave setup. |
Levels 1-4 are a spacing duel: Orianna out-ranges you and her ball poke is strong, but she's immobile and mana-hungry. Dodge the ball, space with E, and don't facecheck her W slow zone. Farm patiently and take chip damage over feeding a big combo. Track Command: Shockwave (R): 110s at rank 1, 80s maxed — it launches you toward the BALL, so track where the ball is, not where she is.
