Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through levels 1-3 with Q poke and E block, but Cassiopeia scales quickly with items and mana.
- Post-6 you lose extended fights as her R and sustained damage with Q spam outscales your burst combo.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is Q poke when she goes for CS, then W-E-Q combo when she's out of position, using E to block her Q-E return damage.
- Always look to disengage after your combo as extended trades favor her sustained damage output.
Wave Control
- Push early levels 1-3 to establish lane priority, then look to freeze or slow push when ahead to deny her farm.
- Avoid hard shoving post-6 as she clears waves easily and you become vulnerable to ganks without escape tools.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't chase extended trades or all-ins post-6 without a significant health advantage, as her sustained damage and R will turn fights around.
- Avoid fighting in her W ground effect as the slow makes you an easy target for her Q-E combo spam.
