Tips & Tricks

  • 1.Kassadin is weak pre-6 — farm safely with Q and avoid extended trades until you have Riftwalk.
  • 2.R stacks increase mana cost exponentially; wait for stacks to drop before spamming R to avoid going OOM.
  • 3.Level 16 with 3 items is Kassadin power spike — R has very low cooldown and high damage at max rank.
  • 4.Q interrupts channels and grants a magic damage shield — use it to trade into AP laners.
  • 5.E can only be cast after 6 nearby spells are used; it charges faster in teamfights for AoE slows.
