Kassadin vs Orianna

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Kassadin is a scaling assassin who must survive Orianna's poke and control until level 6.
Avoid giving Orianna a passive lane to control; maintain safe farming near tower to reach your power spikes.

Trading pattern

Trade minimally before level 6, using Q to shield Orianna's magic poke.
After level 6, use R for short burst trades when Orianna's Orianna R is down or ball is poorly positioned.
Avoid trading when Orianna's Orianna E shield or Orianna R displacement is up.

Danger windows

Pre-6 Kassadin is vulnerable to Orianna's poke and ball control; avoid extended trades.
Kassadin is at risk when low on mana after repeated R casts without escape options.
Respect Orianna's Orianna R displacement during all-in windows or teamfights.

Early game

Farm safely near your tower to avoid Orianna's ball control poke.
Use Q to absorb magic damage and avoid extended trades before level 6.
Avoid pushing the wave too hard to prevent being punished by Orianna's ranged poke and shield.

Power spikes

Kassadin's level 6 R unlocks mobility and burst for aggressive trades.
Orianna's level 6 Orianna R is a major threat; respect its cooldown.
Kassadin's first completed AP item increases burst damage and R uptime.

Win conditions

Survive early lane pressure and reach level 6 to unlock R for mobility and burst.
Punish Orianna when her ball is out of position or Orianna R is on cooldown.
Use R to flank or side pressure post-6, forcing Orianna to play reactively.

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