Azir vs Kassadin

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Prioritize stable waves to safely farm and build toward your first mage DPS item.
Use soldier placement and (R) to zone Kassadin and deny his early farm.
Respect Kassadin's level 6 (R) power spike by saving (E) and (R) defensively.

Trading pattern

Use (W) to summon soldiers and (Q) to poke safely without overextending.
Only use (E) to reposition or disengage, never to initiate trades.
Punish Kassadin when he uses (R) aggressively with low mana or cooldowns.

Danger windows

Kassadin post-6 with (R) can all-in; avoid committing when (R) is available.
Using (E) aggressively without (R) backup leaves you vulnerable to Kassadin's burst.
(Q) shield reduces your poke; avoid trading when it is up.

Early game

Focus on last-hitting near soldiers to poke Kassadin and deny his scaling.
Avoid extended trades pre-6 since Kassadin's burst is limited but dangerous post-6.
Preserve (E) and (R) for escapes against Kassadin's all-ins after level 6.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), improving your safety and counterplay against Kassadin's all-ins.
First completed mage DPS item makes soldier damage meaningful for stronger trades.
Track Kassadin's item spikes and maintain spacing to avoid his increased burst and mobility.

Win conditions

Control lane with soldiers and (R) to zone Kassadin and deny safe farm before 6.
Survive Kassadin's level 6 power spike by holding (R) and (E) for disengage.
Outscale Kassadin by reaching item power spikes and using soldier DPS to control fights.

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