Playing as Cassiopeia
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Twisted Fate
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Back off when he shuffles his cards
Step out of his attack range when he shuffles his cards with Pick a Card (W): if he locks in the Gold Card, his next auto stuns you.
- Engage after his Gold Card
If you can engage, go in right after his Gold Card: without Pick a Card (W), he has no other stun and no dash to escape.
- Play safe when he casts his ult
As soon as he casts Destiny (R), move closer to your tower if you're low: he sees every champion on your team for 6 to 10 seconds and can teleport to you.
- Ping as soon as he disappears
Ping your team as soon as he leaves your vision: Destiny (R) takes him up to 5500 range away, which lets him gank a nearby lane.
