Akshan vs Lissandra

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Use Akshan's high early lane pressure and mobility to deny Lissandra a controlled wave and force her reactive.
Focus on punishing Lissandra's overextensions with (E) to snowball and create roam opportunities.

Trading pattern

Trade short bursts with (Q) and autos, then reposition with (E) to avoid her (W) root and (R) stun.
Punish Lissandra when she uses (E) forward without safe recast or ally follow-up by engaging aggressively with (E).
Avoid extended trades when her (R) is available, as she can lock you down and turn fights.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (R) is up, as she can stun or self-peel, negating your engage attempts.
Avoid committing after missing (E), as you become vulnerable to her (W) root and follow-up damage.
Punish (E) if she uses it forward without safe recast or ally follow-up to prevent her engage.

Early game

Use (Q) and autos to poke and push early waves, forcing Lissandra to farm under pressure.
Avoid engaging with (E) unless you can reposition safely to prevent being caught by her (W) root or (R) lockdown.
Respect (W) and (R) cooldowns by keeping distance until they're down.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlock of (Q) plus (E) or (W) gives Akshan a strong trade and all-in pattern; use it when wave and cooldowns favor.
Level 6 (R) enables kill pressure and roam threat; track availability and commit only with clear advantage.
Respect Lissandra's level 6 (R) lockdown and her first completed AP item spike for increased crowd control threat.

Win conditions

Use (E) to punish Lissandra's overextensions and create roam opportunities to snowball the game.
Deny her passive lane by applying early pressure with (Q) and autos, forcing her to play reactively and miss farm.
Capitalize on windows when her (R) and (W) are on cooldown to engage and secure kills or force resets.
