Read from Veigar's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Lissandra.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lissandra | Lissandra-favoured: her Q Ice Shard out-pokes you and you have no cage at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Lissandra | Lissandra-favoured: level 2 lets her poke and clear safely while you only farm. |
| Level 3 | Lissandra | Lissandra-favoured: level 3 E Glacial Path lets her engage-poke and dodge your cage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lissandra | Lissandra-favoured: her safe poke and mobility keep her ahead through Levels 4-5. |
| Level 6 | Lissandra | Lissandra-favoured: her R Frozen Tomb lockdown and poke edge the level 6 trade. |
| First item | Even / skill | Skill/even: first item trades hinge on landing E before her Glacial Path dash. |
| Two+ items | Veigar | Veigar-favoured: two items lets your combo one-shot her past her self-ult sustain. |
Lissandra out-trades you Levels 1-2 — her Ice Shard poke and safe clear let her harass while you have no cage, so last-hit carefully and respect her E engage threat. Track Glacial Path (E) is 24s at rank 1 — engage and escape in one button; while it is down she is immobile, so that window is your whole trading budget. Lissandra controls lane: her Q (Ice Shard) pokes and clears safely, and her E (Glacial Path) lets her dodge your cage or engage-poke you before dashing back, so you can't punish her at all.
