Read from Lissandra's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Syndra.
This is Lissandra's own plan; across 9,797 pooled games the lane is leaning Syndra.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even skill as neither has an all-in and it's a farm-and-poke lane. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays skill: her range advantage is offset by your safe Q wave control. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 remains a coin-flip where her E-stun setup and your E disengage cancel out. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are still skill since you can dodge her combo while she respects your gap-close. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6: Frozen Tomb is unmissable against her skillshot-reliant burst. |
| First item | Even / skill | At first item your guaranteed CC chain locks her before she can combo. |
| Two+ items | Lissandra | With two-plus items your reliable AoE R catches her before her ult window opens, keeping fights yours. |
Levels 1-4 are a skill matchup. Syndra out-ranges you and can poke with Q and QE, so respect her sphere-stun setup: use your own Q to farm safely, sidestep her E line, and only think about E-engaging when her stun is down. Play the CS game and don't feed her the free poke that snowballs her spheres. Track Scatter the Weak is a flat 15s at every rank and it is her only stun — the 15s after she spends it is your step-up window.
