Who Wins

  • You win most trades pre-6 through superior range and Q poke, but lose all-ins post-6 if Cassiopeia lands her W-R combo on you.
  • Your level 1-2 is particularly strong for establishing early pressure before she gets multiple E ranks.

How to Trade

  • You want to poke with Q from max range while weaving in autos when she goes for CS, then disengage before she can land W on you.
  • Focus on short trades with Q-auto-E proc rather than extended fights where her E spam will outdamage you.

Wave Control

  • You should maintain distance and poke while keeping the wave in a neutral position, avoiding hard pushes that put you in gank range.
  • Use your range advantage to deny CS and force her to use mana on waveclear rather than trading.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • You must avoid getting caught by her W since it sets up her entire combo and likely results in death post-6.
  • Don't greed for CS when low on health since her all-in potential with R is extremely high once she has items.
