Ziggs vs Kassadin

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Ziggs controls lane with long-range poke and waveclear to deny Kassadin safe farming and scaling.
Prioritize maintaining high lane pressure to prevent Kassadin from reaching level 6 comfortably.

Trading pattern

Poke with Q from max range and zone Kassadin with E slow to punish his approach.
Respect Kassadin's Kassadin Q shield and avoid committing when it's active.
Use W defensively only when Kassadin threatens to close distance, as W down leaves you vulnerable.

Danger windows

Kassadin is dangerous post-6 with Kassadin R mobility and burst; avoid close-range trades then.
W cooldown down increases risk of Kassadin engaging; play more cautiously when W is unavailable.
Kassadin low mana after Kassadin R casts is a window to punish with aggressive poke and wave control.

Early game

Use Q and E to poke Kassadin and keep him farming under tower before level 6.
Save W for disengage against Kassadin's rare early aggression or turret execute opportunities.
Avoid extended trades as Kassadin's damage and mobility are limited pre-6.

Power spikes

Ziggs major spikes: level 6 R for long-range burst and first completed mage poke item.
Kassadin major spikes: level 6 Kassadin R unlocks mobility and burst, requiring cautious spacing.
Respect Kassadin's level 6 power spike by playing safer and relying on poke to keep distance.

Win conditions

Deny Kassadin farm and experience through constant Q and E poke to delay his level 6 spike.
Use waveclear to control lane state, forcing Kassadin to farm under turret and miss roam opportunities.
Convert lane pressure into turret damage using W turret executes and R for objective setups.

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