How to play
General
You rush Imperial Mandate. That is only mandatory item for this build. Then you need to adapt to an enemy team.
Your slows trigger Font of Life AND Imperial Mandate, healing and buffing your allies.
Remember that you need to keep close to your allies to trigger Guardian.
Since LoL Patch 14.1 Imperial Mandate is changed. Now you need your team to proc it to deal any damage. So you need to play a little bit differently. Do not spam mindlessly. Try coordinating it with your team - when they are about to poke or when they go in.
Font of Life heal can trigger various support items, like Ardent Censer or Staff of Flowing Water or even Moonstone Renewer!
You need to adapt your items to the game. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
Tips and Tricks
Riot
You can instantly use your ultimate on yourself by pressing the self cast key and the ultimate key at once (alt+R by default).
Casting Glacial Path and then running in the opposite direction will leave your enemies uncertain which way you will actually go.
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.
