Learn how to Kassadin counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Attack aggressively pre-6 — Kassadin is extremely weak early game and can't trade effectively against physical damage due to his kit only reducing magic damage.
Basic Lane Phase
Save your CC abilities until after Kassadin uses Riftwalk (R) — he relies on this mobility to escape once he engages and becomes much more vulnerable when it's on cooldown.
Skirmish Team Fight
Try to end the game before Kassadin reaches level 16 — at this point his Riftwalk cooldown becomes extremely short (2 seconds), making him nearly impossible to catch.
Basic Late Game
Push waves aggressively against Kassadin pre-6 — his poor early waveclear forces him to use mana inefficiently or lose CS under tower.
Lane Phase
Wait out Kassadin's Q shield (lasts 1.5 seconds) before trading — attacking immediately after its expiration significantly reduces his trading power when using magic damage.
Lane Phase
Force objectives when Kassadin is split pushing — his mid-game strategy revolves around safely reaching level 16, so create 5v4 situations elsewhere on the map.
Late Game
Watch for flanking angles in teamfights — Kassadin excels at engaging from unexpected directions with his Riftwalk rather than front-to-back fighting.
Team Fight
In lane, cast spells more conservatively when Kassadin's E is on cooldown — each nearby spell cast reduces its cooldown by 0.75 seconds, enabling his strongest trading tool.
Advanced Lane Phase Skirmish
Place Control Wards in side lane brushes during mid-game — Kassadin will likely split push to safely reach level 16, making vision crucial for tracking his movements.
Late Game
Look to engage Kassadin when his mana bar is low — each Riftwalk stack drastically increases mana cost (up to 640 at 4 stacks), often leaving him vulnerable after multiple jumps.
