Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior trading and all-in potential, as Kassadin lacks meaningful damage and mobility early.
- Post-6 the matchup shifts heavily in Kassadin's favor due to his R mobility making your combos predictable and his Q interrupting your channels.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading involves Q-E-W-E combos when Kassadin uses abilities on minions, then immediately backing off before he can retaliate.
- Extended trades favor you early, but avoid committing to long engagements once he has R available.
Wave Control
- You want to push waves aggressively pre-6 to create roam opportunities and deny Kassadin farm, but transition to freezing near your tower post-6.
- This forces him to overextend for CS while limiting his ability to use R offensively.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use E aggressively post-6 without vision of enemy jungle, as Kassadin's R makes him extremely effective at setting up ganks.
- Avoid channeling W when he has Q available, as the silence will cancel your spin and leave you vulnerable.
