How to play Lissandra in ARAM Mayhem

Lissandra is a solid, middle-of-the-pack pick in ARAM Mayhem on patch 26.21: tier B, #116 of 173 champions, with a 48.2% win rate over 753,317 games.

89% of Lissandra's damage to champions is magic, so enemy magic resist is what slows it down. With 67 seconds of crowd control per game it is one of the team's main sources of lockdown.

The AP build, ability power items, is both the most played and the top-ranked path: Malignance, Rabadon's Deathcap and Shadowflame, with a 47.9% win rate over 531,745 games. On this build 51% of players skip boots and spend the slot on another item.

The cards that do best on Lissandra are Wooglet's Witchcap, Weapon of Destiny and Giant Slayer. Cards built around ability haste fill most of the top of its list, followed by ability power. Most of its S-tier cards are prismatic, so a prismatic offer is often the pick that shapes the game. Skip Mystic Punch and Juiced when you can: they do worst on Lissandra. A pair to look for: Omni Soul with Lich Brain.

Take Flash and Mark (91% of players). Max Q (Ice Shard) first, then W, then E.
