Ahri vs Cassiopeia

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Ahri's high early agency and mobility to deny Cassiopeia free farm and force awkward positioning.
Prioritize lane pressure and short trades to disrupt Cassiopeia's scaling and create roam opportunities.

Trading pattern

Use (Q) and (W) for short trades and look to land (E) when Cassiopeia wastes (W) or moves forward.
Punish missed (Q) or (W) by stepping forward with (E) to lock her down.
Avoid trading when Cassiopeia is poisoned and (W) is available to ground your dashes.

Danger windows

Avoid committing when (W) is up, as it grounds your dashes and traps you in trades.
Respect (R) stun by sidestepping or disengaging when it is available.
Back off if hit by (Q) to avoid extended trades where she can stack damage.

Early game

Poke with (Q) and (W) before Cassiopeia applies poison to prevent her from starting sustained trades.
Hold (E) to punish Cassiopeia's forward movement or cooldown use, especially pre-6.
Avoid extended trades where Cassiopeia can stack (E) damage; favor quick in-and-out trades.

Power spikes

Respect Cassiopeia's level 6 (R) window by avoiding facing her directly and disengaging if needed.
Use Ahri's level 6 (R) to create safer picks, extend trades, and roam effectively.
After Ahri's first completed mage item, increase wave pressure and punish Cassiopeia's weaker waveclear.

Win conditions

Deny Cassiopeia free farm by using (Q) and (W) to pressure and force missed poison stacks.
Land (E) after Cassiopeia wastes (W) or moves forward to secure picks and snowball leads.
Use (R) mobility post-level 6 to roam, chase kills, and prevent Cassiopeia from safely scaling.

Tip: For Ahri vs Cassiopeia, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
