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 LeBlanc

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Break her chain

    As soon as Ethereal Chains (E) tethers you, move away from her: if you stay chained for 1.5 seconds, you're rooted and take extra damage.

  2. Trade after her Distortion

    Trade while Distortion (W) is on cooldown: it's her dash both to get in and to get out, and it comes back in 15 to 10 seconds.

  3. Save your protection for her burst

    If you have a shield or a heal, save it for her combo: Sigil of Malice (Q) detonates as soon as another spell hits you, and all her damage lands at once.

  4. Aim at her return point

    If you have CC, aim at the starting point of her Distortion (W): within 4 seconds, she can return there by recasting the spell.

  5. Don't hit the wrong LeBlanc

    When she drops below 40% health, find the real LeBlanc before hitting: Mirror Image (passive) makes her invisible for 1 second and leaves a copy that deals no damage.
