How to manage your mana as Lissandra?

Wasabo··1 votes·29 views

So I've heard that managing mana is a huge skill that you learn the more you play mages, can someone tell me how to manage mana well as Lissandra? I was thinking that it meant to only use an ability once every 9 seconds (her passive is 18 seconds) and don't use the skill if the damage is lower than the cost or something like that?

hitting multiple targets with your Q will lower your passive's cooldown timer along with hitting multiple targets with your W... basically if you Q and hit the 3 caster and the 3 melee minions thats 6 seconds off your passive if you include the laner and the cannon minion when its there thats 8 seconds off of your passive for a single Q so if you Q + W you can easly get 16 seconds (both hitting the champ and the cannon minion) or 12 seconds just hitting the wave (without hitting the champion and the cannon minion)

No it won't.

The Q only slows the first target struck. Q will only ever reduce the cooldown for the passive by 1.

Your W and R are the only things that will reduce the cooldown by more than one second.

OP: I'd recommend an early rush of Athene's Unholy Grail or Morellonomicon. Coupled with your passive, you shouldn't have any mana issues if you're using your abilities well. And in lane, you only want to cast Qs to poke or push if your passive is up or if you have to. Spamming Qs in hopes of zoning will just drain your mana pool.

i dunno... ive been playing her top recently... been getting quite a few reductions on just casting Q... either its glitching and giving me 1 for each hit or its worded wrong :| either way the W portion is spot on so you can still get 6-8 seconds off your passive depending on the wave and if you hit the laner or not
