The classic combo is Q (Noxious Blast) → spam E (Twin Fang) while the poison lasts — E has no cooldown on poisoned targets.
Your R (Petrifying Gaze) stuns those facing you and slows the rest — Flash + R backwards to stun enemies chasing you.
The passive prevents you from buying boots but gives you movement speed — you have one extra item slot compared to others.
W (Miasma) prevents dashes in the zone — place it on assassins or fighters who want to gap-close on you.

Playing against Cassiopeia
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Turn away when she casts her R: you'll be slowed instead of stunned if you're not facing her.
Her DPS depends on landing Q (poison) — if she misses Q, she can't effectively spam E.
W prevents dashes: do NOT dash into the zone, go around it.
Cassiopeia doesn't have boots — slows are particularly effective against her.
