Kassadin is one of the strongest late-game champions — play passively early, farm for your items and level 16.

Your R (Riftwalk) stacks damage with each consecutive use — in fights, R multiple times for massive burst but manage your mana.

Q (Null Sphere) interrupts channels and gives a magic shield — use it against mages in lane.

W (Nether Blade) restores mana on auto — auto-attack minions in melee to sustain mana.

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

Punish Kassadin VERY hard in early game (levels 1-5): he's one of the weakest champions at that stage.

AD champions in midlane counter him: his passive and Q shield only work against magic damage.

Do NOT let the game go to late game: a level 16 Kassadin with his items is nearly impossible to stop.

His R consumes a lot of mana when stacking — force him to use multiple Rs to drain his mana.
