Who Wins
- You win pre-6 convincingly through superior range and wave control with Q poke and minion manipulation.
- Post-6 becomes much more dangerous as Kassadin gains kill pressure with R engages, though you can still win if you maintain proper spacing and land E stuns.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves Q poke when Kassadin goes for CS, then immediately backing off to avoid his Q-W retaliation.
- When he's low enough, look for E-Q combos to set up kill pressure, but always respect his Q shield timing.
Wave Control
- Push early waves with Q to establish level and recall advantages, then maintain slow pushes to keep minions between you and Kassadin.
- Avoid hard shoving post-6 unless you have vision, as extended lanes make you vulnerable to his R engages.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use E defensively unless absolutely necessary for survival, as it's your only reliable self-peel against his R engages.
- Don't get greedy with extended trades pre-6, as his Q shield and W sustain can turn favorable poke into even exchanges.
