Zoe vs Kassadin

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Zoe is a high-agency poke mage aiming to pressure Kassadin early and deny his safe scaling.
Apply lane pressure to prevent Kassadin from farming safely and reaching level 6 comfortably.

Trading pattern

Fish for E to set up burst combos with Q and R for extended range trades.
Punish Kassadin's low mana or when Kassadin has recently used Kassadin R aggressively.
Avoid extended trades after missing E or if Kassadin has Kassadin Q shield active.

Danger windows

Kassadin is dangerous post-6 with Kassadin R mobility and burst when he has sufficient mana.
Avoid all-ins when Kassadin's Kassadin R is available and he can escape or counterattack.
Be cautious if Kassadin has Kassadin Q shield ready to absorb your magic poke.

Early game

Use E to catch Kassadin before level 6 when he has low mobility and limited wave control.
Maintain high lane pressure with Q poke and W summoner/item pickups to force Kassadin to farm under tower.
Avoid missing E to prevent being vulnerable to Kassadin's brief trades.

Power spikes

Zoe's level 6 R unlocks extended poke angles and burst potential.
Zoe's first completed AP burst item enhances kill pressure.
Respect Kassadin's level 6 Kassadin R for mobility and burst, which increases his threat range.

Win conditions

Use E and R to find safe angles for poke and burst before Kassadin hits level 6.
Deny Kassadin safe farming and force him to use Kassadin R defensively.
Capitalize on Kassadin's pre-6 vulnerability to build a lead and control lane pressure.

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