How to win lane as Naafiri against Lissandra · 47.71% win rate (6,936 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Root, self-stun, and AoE that deletes hounds — the anti-pack pick; trade only behind a full screen and never W past the wave.
Track: Lissandra's E — Glacial Path (Claw, 24–12s cooldown). Her engage and escape in one button — she is immobile while it is down.
Read from Naafiri's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Lissandra.
This is Naafiri's own plan; across 6,936 pooled games the lane is leaning Lissandra.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is yours because Lissandra's Q poke carries no kill threat against your kit. |
| Level 2 | Naafiri | Level 2 favours you as Packmate on-hit out-trades her short-range self-peel. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 belongs to you once W-Hounds' Pursuit punishes her E cooldown. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay yours since you can walk out of W-Ring of Frost and dive her. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6: R-Call of the Pack keeps the pack hitting through her CC. |
| First item | Even / skill | At first item your W-E-Q burst kills her before frostbite matters. |
| Two+ items | Naafiri | Into 2+ items you win skirmishes as she's a CC platform, not a duelist. |
Lissandra can only poke you levels 1-2 with Q-Ice Shard and has zero all-in threat, so you contest the wave and set up your W spike; her W-Ring of Frost is short enough that you can position to avoid the root. Track Glacial Path (Claw) is 24s at rank 1, 12s max — her engage and escape in one button; with it down she is immobile for a whole wave.
