Who Wins
- You lose early trades due to Cassiopeia's superior range and poison damage, but can look for short burst trades with Q-E combo when she mispositions.
- Post-6 you gain significant kill pressure with R engage potential, though you must respect her R counter-engage and kiting ability.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is Q-E burst when Cassiopeia steps up for CS or uses abilities on minions, then immediately back off to avoid extended trades.
- Never commit to long trades as her poison DPS and W ground effect will destroy you in sustained combat.
Wave Control
- Push early waves with Q to create roam opportunities since you cannot match her scaling or sustained damage in lane.
- Look to crash waves and roam to side lanes where your R engage is more valuable than trying to farm against her superior range.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never walk directly at Cassiopeia or fight in her W ground zone as you lose all mobility and become a sitting duck for her damage.
- Avoid using E aggressively without a clear escape plan since her W can trap you for a guaranteed death.
