Guide to Countering Alistar as Lissandra

Tips for Playing as Lissandra against Alistar

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 Alistar

Alistar is very disruptive but very tough - try to target more fragile damage dealers.

When Alistar uses his ultimate, it's often better to move back and wait until the effect wears off before attacking him.

Watch out for the Pulverize-Headbutt combo when around turrets.
