Lissandra closes with Glacial Path (E), then locks down immobile Soraka with Ring of Frost (W)'s root and Frozen Tomb (R)'s stun. Equinox (E) creates a silence zone on the ground, so Lissandra should place her recast outside it.

A Glacial Path (E) engage plus a guaranteed Frozen Tomb (R) stun and Ring of Frost (W) root fully lock down the immobile Sona, melting her before she can retaliate with Crescendo (R).

With no mobility, she gets caught by a Glacial Path (E) dash into the Ring of Frost (W) root and Frozen Tomb (R) stun chain, crumbling to the burst.

Light Binding (Q) is an aimed skill that Lissandra can dodge by changing Glacial Path (E)'s recast position, but Final Spark (R) is a beam and still lands if her route is read. After avoiding Q, Frozen Tomb (R)'s targeted stun stops Lux's response.

A long-range poker with zero mobility, so once you stick with Glacial Path (E) he gets bursted down helpless under the instant Frozen Tomb (R) stun and Ring of Frost (W) root.

Black Shield (E) blocks the Ring of Frost (W) root and Frozen Tomb (R) stun, nullifying Lissandra's initiation, and if Dark Binding (Q) lands she gets caught in return.

Tankier and armed with a long Zenith Blade (E)-Shield of Daybreak (Q)-Solar Flare (R) CC chain, she survives Lissandra's burst and wins the counter-engage.

Dredge Line (Q)'s pull and Staggering Blow (P)'s basic-attack root lead into Depth Charge (R)'s targeted knock-up. Nautilus's durability lets him survive Lissandra's burst while building a longer crowd-control chain.

Ranged Vision of Empire (W) root harass and the sustained lifesteal of Demonic Ascension (R) heal through Lissandra's burst, overpowering her in lane sustain.
