Guide to Countering Soraka as Lissandra

Tips for Playing as Lissandra against Soraka

Lissandra's abilities are shorter range than those of many mages. As a result, buying items that offer both ability power and defense, like Zhonya's Hourglass and Banshee's Veil, can be a great choice to help her both survive and deal damage.

Casting Glacial Path and then running in the opposite direction will leave your enemies uncertain which way you will actually go.

You can instantly use your ultimate on yourself by pressing the self cast key and the ultimate key at once (alt+R by default).

Advice to Win Against Soraka

It's easier to focus Soraka than the ally she is healing.

Focus on attacking Soraka when she ever ventures to the frontline to heal her allies.

Take advantage of Soraka's long cooldown on Equinox if she uses it to harass.
