Read from Lissandra's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Pantheon.
This is Lissandra's own plan; across 2,571 pooled games the lane is leaning Lissandra.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even before Pantheon has his W stun to threaten an all-in. |
| Level 2 | Pantheon | Level 2 favors Pantheon: W (Shield Vault) stun into Q lets him start winning all-ins. |
| Level 3 | Pantheon | Level 3 stays his: Mortal Will empowers his next spell and Aegis Assault wins the trade. |
| Levels 4-5 | Pantheon | Levels 4-5 remain Pantheon's window with repeated W-Q all-ins before your R exists. |
| Level 6 | Lissandra | Level 6 flips to you: R negates his combo, letting you survive and lock him mid-engage. |
| First item | Lissandra | First item is yours as his burst falls off while your E-Q-R chain reliably kills him. |
| Two+ items | Lissandra | With 2+ items you dominate: your AoE lockdown and survivability outclass his fading single-target burst. |
Level 1 is even, but from 2 to 5 the lane is Pantheon's. His Q poke and W stun let him all-in repeatedly, and Mortal Will empowers his next spell every few casts. Play safe, hold E to disengage his W-Q burst, and refuse melee trades into his empowered Q so his lead stays small. Track Shield Vault (W): 13s at rank 1, 9s maxed — a point-and-click stun at 600 that resets his auto, so the wind-up is the tell.
