Lissandra vs Yone

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Lissandra is a control mage who must manage Yone's high mobility and all-in threat by punishing his engage attempts with her W root and R lockdown.
Focus on denying Yone's planned E+Q trades by controlling wave and holding W for his melee commits to prevent him from snowballing.

Trading pattern

Use Q to poke and control the wave, then punish Yone when he steps into W range for melee trades.
Respect Yone's Yone E cooldown; he is vulnerable if he uses it poorly or from a bad position.
Only commit with E plus R when allies can follow up or to lock down Yone after he commits to a trade.

Danger windows

Yone is most dangerous when Yone E is up and he can engage with Q knockup or R displacement.
Avoid all-ins when R is down as Lissandra loses her main lockdown and peel.
Be cautious if Yone uses E from a good position and has allies nearby for follow-up.

Early game

Use Q to safely farm and poke while avoiding extended trades before level 6 when Yone's all-in combo unlocks.
Hold W to punish Yone if he tries to engage with E or stack Q aggressively.
Avoid using E aggressively without follow-up since Yone can punish predictable engage paths.

Power spikes

Lissandra's major spike is level 6 when R becomes available for lockdown and self-peel.
Yone's major spike is level 3 when he unlocks his full Q-W-E combo with shield and gap close.
Respect Yone's first back power spike when he gains attack speed and potential Bork item.

Win conditions

Win by controlling short-range trades with W root and R lockdown to neutralize Yone's all-ins.
Deny Yone's scaling by punishing his E cooldown and forcing him to miss farm or take unfavorable trades.
Create engage angles with E from fog or flank to set up kills with jungle or team follow-up.
