Who Wins

  • You win most pre-6 trades with your superior range, W sustain, and E engage potential against Kassadin's weak early game.
  • Post-6 the matchup becomes more skill-dependent as his R mobility can outplay your combos, but you maintain advantage in extended fights.

How to Trade

  • Your best trading pattern is E engage into full combo with W heal, then use Q to poke as he retreats.
  • Look for opportunities when he steps up for CS to land E, as landing the chain guarantees significant damage and healing advantage.

Wave Control

  • You want to maintain aggressive positioning and contest every CS early, using your range and sustain advantage to build a health lead.
  • Push waves when ahead to deny his scaling and look for roam timers with stolen ultimates.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste E on minions or use it predictably, as it's your primary engage tool and Kassadin can easily dodge with R post-6.
  • Avoid chasing too deep with stolen R when his team is nearby, as you lack his natural escape mobility.
