Who Wins

  • You dominate pre-6 through superior range, consistent Q-E poke, and voidling pressure that Kassadin cannot effectively contest.
  • Post-6 becomes more dangerous as his R gives him kill pressure, but your R can counter his engages if you position properly and maintain vision.

How to Trade

  • Maintain distance and poke with Q while using voidlings to zone and block his approach, following up with E when he's forced to CS.
  • When he uses Q to farm or block your poke, that's your window for a full Q-E-W combo since his magic shield is down.

Wave Control

  • Push aggressively early to deny him CS and force him under tower where he struggles to last-hit.
  • Maintain constant pressure with voidlings and abilities, but ensure you have vision and mana management to avoid being caught by ganks.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste your R defensively against his R unless you're certain it will save you, as the cooldown difference heavily favors him.
  • Never let your passive shield drop carelessly in the mid-late game, as it's your primary defense against his burst combo.
