Who Wins
- You dominate pre-6 with superior burst, mobility, and all-in potential at any health threshold.
- Post-6 becomes more skill-dependent as Kassadin gains R mobility for escapes and outplay potential, though you still maintain kill pressure with proper combo execution.
How to Trade
- Look for W-Q-auto trades when Kassadin steps up for CS, using E to gap close if he tries to back off.
- Your strongest trading pattern is landing W both ways while weaving in melee attacks, as this maximizes your passive proc damage.
Wave Control
- Push early waves to establish priority and look for roaming opportunities, as Kassadin wants to farm safely to his power spikes.
- Control vision around mid lane brushes to set up ambushes, since your E mobility allows for creative gank angles.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your combo on Kassadin when he has R available unless you can guarantee the kill, as he'll simply R away and you'll be on cooldowns.
- Avoid extended trades without your passive stacks, as Kassadin's sustained damage with E spam becomes problematic in longer fights.
