When looking at Lystesa, it's hard where to dedicate my emotions: am I supposed to feel sad that she has lost so much, or do I feel pity that she is turning down a confused road? Aside from Lystesa's loss, it's hard to see her character as a believable personality. Her short "lore" is another reason, as it does not describe enough to represent her difficulties. It may root from your own lack of English grammer and storytelling (which can always improve), but to be blunt, it's hard to truly empathize with her.

There isn't much to say descriptively, but each ability has a fault along the way, some of them veering away from Lystesa's theme.
 * Lystesa is for sure now a hired mercenary, but I do not know if her innate playstyle should be based off of it. I could suggest a new lore, but otherwise, there is nothing wrong with the passive aside from how it doesn't seem interest from a personal standpoint.
 * Q is a basic AA enhancer with lifesteal. The reason for how this ability comes to is contradicting, unless Lystesa believes the gods willed for the disaster she had faced. Someone who has lost hope may not be as willing to believe in gods again, unless her backstory portrays that something good had happened after.
 * W is a defensive mechanism that relies on "chance," something Riot avoid aside from critical chance. The other sour part of it is that it is similar to 's Parry, except it is stuns (needs duration) automatically to one opponent with a larger "parry" window. It's less intuitive than other defensive abilities out there.
 * E is a dash that reduces the enemy's armor... for what reason? This ability does not tie to the theme.
 * R... Reverent Martyr, as described below, is an awkward ult. The damage is low and is jumbled with a lot of CC. The cost for activating the "better" portion of the ability is 100% of her health, ie. she dies. If Lystesa doesn't want to "die," she can punish the player playing her by becoming a coward, Fearing herself and becoming silenced for a long duration.
 * This ultimate alone would cause people to believe this is moreorless a troll champion. It punishes Lystesa so much that it would make it very frustrating to play her. It's understandable that she has lost hope, but this may be taking it a bit too far.
