Using Quickdraw to get into range and delivering a point blank Buckshot can do lots of damage.

Advice to Understand How Lissandra Will Play

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).
