Guide to Countering Lissandra as Diana

Tips for Playing as Diana against Lissandra

Use Moonfall and Lunar Rush to stay on targets and activate Moonsilver Blade for extra damage.

Consider when to cast Lunar Rush without Moonlight and when to wait for another Crescent Strike.

Landing Crescent Strike is critically important, but don't be afraid to miss. The cooldown is short and the mana cost is low.

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.
