| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Zed | Zed favoured L1: her only poke is a dodgeable Q and she has no sustain to contest you. |
| Level 2 | Zed | Zed favoured L2: W-shadow Q chunks her freely whenever her E claw is down. |
| Level 3 | Zed | Zed favoured L3: you out-trade and deny CS with little counterplay from her. |
| Levels 4-5 | Zed | Zed favoured L4-5: perma-shove and roam pressure keep her off her scaling curve. |
| Level 6 | Zed | Zed favoured L6: Death Mark threatens the kill and forces out her defensive Frozen Tomb. |
| First item | Zed | Zed favoured 1st item: lethality deletes her before her item-based durability comes online. |
| Two+ items | Zed | Zed favoured 2+ items: you keep the mid-game pick edge even as she scales into a tankier diver. |
L1-2 is yours. Lissandra's only poke is a sidesteppable Q and she has no sustain, so shove her in and chunk her with W-shadow Q every time her E claw is down. Hold your dash to dodge her E-engage, and deny her CS to keep her off her scaling curve.
