Who Wins
- You dominate pre-6 through superior base stats, sustain from Q, and gap-closing with E-W-Q-E combos that Kassadin cannot effectively trade back into.
- Post-6 you maintain advantage since Kassadin's R has high cooldown early and you can still all-in him before he scales.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading is E1 into him, W for stun, Q for damage and heal, then E2 out before he can retaliate meaningfully with his short-range abilities.
- Build fury beforehand to maximize W stun duration and Q healing, making trades heavily favor you.
Wave Control
- Push waves early to deny Kassadin farm and create roaming opportunities, as he cannot match your waveclear or contest your push.
- Maintain slow pushes into crashes to recall safely while denying him CS under tower.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your E cooldown for minor poke trades, as it's your only gap closer and escape tool against his Q slow and potential jungle ganks.
- Avoid extended fights when your fury is low, as your damage and sustain drop significantly without empowered abilities.
