Guide to Countering Lissandra as Azir

Tips for Playing as Azir against Lissandra

Be a bird!

In the lane, try to position your soldiers between the enemy's minions and the enemy champion. This way you can use them both to last hit and to project threat onto your lane opponent.

Be careful about putting down both of the soldiers stored by Arise! Unless you're going all-in, always have a soldier in your back pocket if you need to escape over a wall or if you misposition your other soldier and need damage now.

Think of Emperor's Divide as a defensive ability first and foremost. Use it when the enemy engages on you or your allies. Remember that your team can walk through the soldiers summoned by Emperor's Divide and use this to your advantage when enemy melee champions engage on you.

Advice to Win Against Lissandra

Lissandra's Ring of Frost has a long cooldown at early ranks; engage her while it's on cooldown.

Lissandra's Ice Shard only slows the first unit it hits. Approach Lissandra from behind your team's minions to avoid being slowed.

The best way to stop Lissandra from moving using her Glacial Path is to immobilize her before she reactivates it.
