Lissandra vs Malzahar

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Lissandra aims to control mid with Q poke and punish Malzahar when he overextends to maintain lane pressure.
She must manage wave control to prevent Malzahar from freely pushing and roaming with his ultimate.

Trading pattern

Trade when Malzahar's Malzahar R is down to avoid his suppression lockdown.
Use W root to punish Malzahar when he steps forward to last hit or cast Malzahar Q.
Avoid using E aggressively without follow-up since Malzahar can punish predictable engages.

Danger windows

Malzahar is dangerous when Malzahar R is available; avoid all-ins during his ultimate channel.
Be cautious when E is on cooldown, as your engage and escape options are limited.
Malzahar's passive Void Shift spell shield can block your initial poke, so time trades after it's down.

Early game

Use Q to farm safely and chip Malzahar's health while avoiding his Malzahar Q silence.
Focus on killing Malzahar W Voidlings early to reduce his push pressure.
Hold W to root Malzahar if he tries to engage or use Malzahar R, enabling follow-up from jungler.

Power spikes

Level 6 R is your biggest threat and setup tool for lockdown.
First completed AP or utility item increases your control and damage.
Respect Malzahar's level 6 Malzahar R suppression and his first completed mana/AP item spike.

Win conditions

Deny Malzahar's push by killing Voidlings and controlling the wave with Q.
Use W and R to lock down Malzahar when Malzahar R is down or when jungler can follow up.
Create flank angles with E to surprise Malzahar and force him into unfavorable fights.

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