Kassadin vs Cassiopeia

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Kassadin has low early agency and lane pressure; focus on surviving Cassiopeia's mid-range poke and scaling threat.
Avoid giving Cassiopeia passive scaling by managing wave safely and not overextending pre-6.

Trading pattern

Before level 6, trade minimally and only with Q shield active to absorb poke.
After level 6, use R for short burst trades when Cassiopeia's W is down or she lacks poison on you.
Avoid extended trades where Cassiopeia can stack E damage; punish her if she misses Cassiopeia Q or wastes W.

Danger windows

Pre-6, Kassadin is vulnerable to Cassiopeia's sustained poke and W grounding.
When Cassiopeia's R is up and you face her, avoid committing to trades.
Low mana after repeated R uses leaves Kassadin exposed to Cassiopeia's follow-up damage.

Early game

Farm safely near tower and use Q to absorb Cassiopeia Q poke without extended trades.
Avoid trading before level 6 to minimize damage from her poison and sustained E damage.
Conserve mana and health to reach level 6 without falling behind.

Power spikes

Kassadin's level 6 R unlocks mobility and burst to punish Cassiopeia's immobility.
First major AP item spikes Kassadin's damage and R uptime.
Cassiopeia's level 6 R petrify makes direct all-ins risky; respect this cooldown.

Win conditions

Survive early poke and reach level 6 to unlock R mobility for short trades and escapes.
Use R to punish Cassiopeia when she misses Q or uses W defensively.
Scale into mid and late game where Kassadin's burst and mobility outmatch Cassiopeia's sustained damage.

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