Who Wins
- Pre-6 you lose most trades due to Cassiopeia's superior range and poison DPS, but can match her waveclear with E-Q combos.
- Post-6 you still struggle in 1v1s as her R can interrupt your combos and she outdamages you in extended fights.
How to Trade
- Look for quick E-W-Q trades when she misses Q, then immediately back off to avoid her poison follow-up.
- Never commit to extended trades as her sustained DPS with E spam will outdamage your burst rotation.
Wave Control
- Focus on shoving waves with E-Q and roaming with R rather than trying to contest lane priority.
- Use your superior waveclear to create roam timers and impact other lanes since you can't pressure her directly.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to all-in her post-6 without jungle help as her R will cancel your combo and turn the fight.
- Avoid standing in minion waves where her Q can hit you while she farms, as this gives her free poison procs for E spam.
