Playing as Cassiopeia

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Poison, then bite

    Land Noxious Blast (Q), then chain Twin Fang (E) while the poison lasts: the poisoned target takes extra damage, and you heal.

  2. Kite with your speed

    Hit a champion with Noxious Blast (Q) to kite: the spell gives you move speed, and Serpentine Grace (passive) makes every speed bonus more effective.

  3. Ground those who dive you

    Place Miasma (W) on those trying to jump on you: inside the clouds, enemies are slowed and can't use movement abilities.

  4. Turn to face your pursuers

    Cast Petrifying Gaze (R) toward those chasing you, after a Flash if needed: those facing you are stunned, the others only slowed.

Playing against Orianna

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay out of her ball's line

    Don't stand in the path of her ball, because Command: Attack (Q) damages every enemy it passes through before stopping.

  2. Target her when her ball is far

    If you can engage, target Orianna when her ball is far from her: her spells come from the ball, and she has no dash.

  3. Don't group near her ball

    In teamfights, don't stay grouped with your allies near her ball, because Command: Shockwave (R) pulls every nearby enemy toward it.

  4. Watch the ally carrying her ball

    Back off when her ball is attached to an ally diving your team: Command: Shockwave (R) will then come from them.
