Who Wins
- You lose early 1v1s as Cassiopeia can easily walk into your passive star range and outtrade with Q-E spam while you lack meaningful retaliation.
- Post-6 you still struggle in extended fights but can potentially win quick trades with R knockback into Q stun if you catch her positioning poorly.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to use W to quickly engage with Q expansion, land the stun, then immediately W away before she can retaliate with her poison combo.
- Never try to extended trade as her sustained DPS with E resets will always outdamage your passive stars.
Wave Control
- Focus on fast wave clearing with E to execute minions for stacks, then use W to roam to side lanes rather than fighting her directly.
- You want to shove and leave constantly, as staying in lane gives her free opportunities to zone you off farm and poke you down.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to fight her in the minion wave where she can easily land Q on you through creeps and follow up with E spam.
- Avoid staying in lane after shoving as her superior 1v1 means you'll lose any extended skirmish even with item advantages.
