How to win lane as Orianna against Lissandra · 49.15% win rate over 1,703 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Orianna | You favour level 1 because your ball poke out-ranges her Q shard with no E to punish. |
| Level 2 | Orianna | You favour level 2 continuing the range war before her gap-close arrives. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is skill-based once her E and Q slow let her trade back. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay even as a spacing test around her E cooldown. |
| Level 6 | Lissandra | Lissandra favoured at 6: her R lock sets up ganks and peels your Shockwave. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is even again as your Ludens and instant R answer her engage. |
| Two+ items | Orianna | At two items your ball layered onto her R engage out-controls her single lock-down. |
At levels 1-2 you win the range war: your ball-toss poke and Q-W out-distance Lissandra's Q ice shard, and she has no E gap-close yet to punish you, so chip her freely while setting the wave. Keep the ball on your minions to shove and poke at once, and don't over-extend past river. This early edge lets you deny her a comfortable start before her engage tools arrive.
