Cassiopeia vs Akshan

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use mid-range sustained trades to punish Akshan's short-range burst and mobility.
Force extended fights by landing poison and zoning with (W) to block his (E) engages.
Deny Akshan's roam by maintaining wave control and punishing missed (E) engages.

Trading pattern

Start trades with (Q) or (W) to apply poison and block Akshan's mobility, then spam (E).
Punish immediately after Akshan uses (E) to engage or reposition, as he is vulnerable.
Reserve (W) to deny his escape or engage routes, forcing longer trades favorable to you.

Danger windows

(E) mobility enables aggressive engages and roams; respect its cooldown.
His level 6 (R) can punish you if caught facing him during all-ins.
Avoid trading without (W) up, as Akshan can dodge and reposition to punish you.

Early game

Apply (Q) poison early to enable repeated (E) damage before Akshan can engage.
Hold (W) to ground (E) and prevent his mobility from triggering trades.
Avoid short trades without poison to reduce vulnerability to Akshan's autos and (Q).

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) deters Akshan from committing and enables strong all-in punishments.
First mana/AP item boosts sustained damage, allowing more confident extended trades.
Respect Akshan's level 2 (Q)+(E)/(W) combo as a strong early pressure spike.

Win conditions

Land poison and force Akshan into extended fights to maximize repeated (E) damage.
Use (W) to ground his mobility and (R) to punish him when he faces you.
Control mid lane pressure to deny his roam opportunities and punish missed (E) engages.

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