Guide to Countering Lissandra as Vel'Koz

Tips for Playing as Vel'Koz against Lissandra

Be very careful about when to use Life Form Disintegration Ray. Many champions have abilities that can interrupt the spell.

Shooting Plasma Fission diagonally and splitting at maximum range allows you to hit opponents that are out of the range of the initial missile, but is more challenging to pull off.

When laning, use Void Rift to kill minions while building stacks of Organic Deconstruction on your opponent. You can then follow up with your other abilities.

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.
