Playing as Kassadin

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Trade with Q against mages

    Against a mage, take your trades with Null Sphere (Q): it gives you a magic damage shield for 1.5 seconds and interrupts channels.

  2. Restore mana with your W

    Restore mana with Nether Blade (W): your next auto restores part of your missing mana, more on a champion.

  3. Farm while you wait for Riftwalk

    Farm safely early on: your power comes from ranks in Riftwalk (R), whose cooldown drops from 5 to 2 seconds.

  4. Watch your mana when chaining R

    Chain Riftwalk (R) in teamfights while watching your mana: each quick recast adds damage, but doubles its mana cost.

Playing against Fizz

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Play hard without his E

    Take your trades when he doesn't have Playful (E), in the early levels or right after he uses it: it's his only dodge, on a 16 to 8 second cooldown.

  2. Back off when his trident glows

    Back off after the empowered Seastone Trident (W) auto: if it doesn't kill, his autos deal bonus magic damage for a few seconds.

  3. Dodge his fish

    Dodge the Chum the Waters (R) fish by stepping aside: it attaches to the first champion hit and slows them, then a shark knocks them into the air.

  4. Move away if the fish has you

    If the Chum the Waters (R) fish attaches to you, move away from your allies: the shark knocks back and damages everyone around you.
