Katarina vs Lissandra

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Katarina has low early agency and lane pressure against Lissandra's medium control and crowd control threat.
Focus on surviving early without overextending and punish Lissandra's cooldowns to prevent her from setting up engages.

Trading pattern

Trade only when daggers are well placed and Lissandra's W and R are on cooldown to avoid root and stun.
Use E to engage after Lissandra wastes crowd control or mobility, aiming for quick burst and resets.
Avoid jumping in without dagger setup or when Lissandra's E is ready to punish your engage path.

Danger windows

Lissandra's W root and R stun create lethal windows if you engage without cooldowns used.
Her E flank engage can punish your forward E if predicted or unsupported.
Be cautious when large minion waves trap you or deny your roam and reset options.

Early game

Avoid forcing trades before level 3 when your dagger setup and mobility unlock real burst potential.
Use Q and W to position daggers safely and wait for Lissandra to use W or R before committing with E.
Keep wave manageable to create roam opportunities after pushing or freezing.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your Q-W-E dagger combo, enabling your first strong burst trades.
Level 6 R significantly increases all-in threat if crowd control is down.
Respect Lissandra's level 6 Lissandra R for her lockdown and self-peel potential.

Win conditions

Survive early pressure and punish Lissandra's crowd control cooldowns with dagger resets.
Use skirmishes and river fights to chain kills and snowball through resets.
Deny Lissandra a calm scaling lane by forcing chaotic trades when her engage tools are down.

Tip: For Katarina vs Lissandra, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
