Why it works
- Jarvan opens. His Q "Dragon Strike" damages, reduces armor and, when he dashes to his Demacian Standard, knocks up the enemies in the way. The E places the standard, so the combo is E then Q.
- Lissandra immobilizes. Her W "Ring of Frost" freezes and roots nearby enemies, and her Q slows them.
- Jarvan's R locks in. He leaps onto a target and marks out a fighting zone. To verify
- Lissandra's R stuns. Cast on an enemy champion, it freezes and stuns them; on herself it makes her invulnerable.
- Lissandra repositions. Her E "Glacial Path" teleports her to the claw, which works for going in or getting out.
Weak points: both need to get in melee or close; without cleansing there's no combo; if Jarvan misses the Q, the fight loses strength. To verify
Powerspikes by level
| Level | What changes | How to play it |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | First spike: Lissandra's Q and W, Jarvan's Q and E. | A mid gank with a knock-up and a root. |
| 6 | Spike: both ultimates. | Lock in and stun in the fight. |
| Mid game | Team fights and objectives. | Go in with Jarvan and close with Lissandra. |
Gank combo (level 3-5)
- Jarvan: E to place the standard behind the target.
- Jarvan: Q to dash in and knock the enemy up.
- Lissandra: W to root them as she closes in. To verify
- Lissandra: Q to slow and damage whoever runs.
Combo mistakes: placing the standard with no line to the target, or using Lissandra's W before the knock-up.
Level 6 protocol
- Jarvan: R on the priority target: it locks them in.
- Lissandra: R on that target: it stuns them inside the zone.
- Rest of the team: damage on the target and Lissandra's W on the others. To verify
