How to win lane as Talon against Lissandra · 48.25% win rate over 1,511 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Talon | Lissandra is short-range and cooldown-reliant, so you win the level 1 auto trades. |
| Level 2 | Talon | At 2 your W-Q burst beats her single-target poke. |
| Level 3 | Talon | By 3 you all-in the moment her E or Q is down and she can't stop it. |
| Levels 4-5 | Talon | Through 4-5 you shove and roam while she has no kill pressure back. |
| Level 6 | Talon | At 6 Shadow Assassin bursts her even through a defensive self-tomb. |
| First item | Talon | Your first Dirk item deletes her before she stacks tank items. |
| Two+ items | Talon | You keep full duel dominance into 2 items as long as you dodge her chain CC and dive before her team follows up. |
Levels 1-2 you win comfortably: Lissandra is short-range and mana-hungry, so auto-W poke her, dodge the slow Ice Shard, and she can't trade back without burning cooldowns.
