Read from Talon's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Lissandra.
This is Talon's own plan; across 4,824 pooled games the lane is leaning Lissandra.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Talon | Lissandra is short-range and cooldown-reliant, so you win the level 1 auto trades. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At 2 your W-Q burst beats her single-target poke. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | By 3 you all-in the moment her E or Q is down and she can't stop it. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Through 4-5 you shove and roam while she has no kill pressure back. |
| Level 6 | Talon | At 6 Shadow Assault bursts her; a defensive self-tomb only delays it. |
| First item | Talon | Your first Dirk item deletes her before she stacks tank items. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | 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. Track Lissandra Glacial Path (Claw): 24s at rank 1 — engage and escape in one button; she is immobile for all 24 while it's down. Lissandra's damage is cooldown-heavy and short-range; bait her E (Glacial Path) claw or Q (Ice Shard), then W (Rake) poke and W-Q all-in on the cooldown — she has no way to stop your burst once her E is spent.
