Guide to Countering Lissandra as Nasus

Tips for Playing as Nasus against Lissandra

Paying attention to last hitting with Siphoning Strike will have a large impact at the end of a game.

If you're solo, Spirit Fire is a great way to farm a lane. It can be bad if you're in a lane with 2 and you push too far. Find the right balance between Siphoning Strike last hits and AoE farming.

If you have low defenses, people will focus you down even during your ultimate. Try buying some survivability items even in your DPS builds.

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.
