Guide to Synergizing Kayn and Lissandra

Tips for Playing as Kayn with Lissandra

Remember that nearby enemies can see which wall you're in.

Look at the line-up of both your team and the enemy's team when picking your form.

Advice to Understand How Lissandra Will Play

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).
