Therefore, Yasuo makes an ok counter for Cassiopeia. In the game's current meta, Yasuo usually fairs equally well when facing off against Cassiopeia, with a 50.3% win rate. Both champs have their strengths, weaknesses, and counters. These items help build an offensive Cassiopeia through the ability power and a significant HP boost from Rylai’s Crystal Scepter to add a noticeable HP buffer to carry into late game from the early game.Both League of Legends champs are great. Mid to late game, a Rabadon’s Deathcap, Void Staff and a Rylai’s Crystal Scepter can be fully built. After enough gold is earned, the Haunting Guise should be built into a Liandry’s Torment. After 2-3 recalls from mid lane, build a Haunting Guise and an Athene’s Unholy Grail. Therefore, when the game begins, purchase a Doran's Ring, 1-2 Health Potions and a Warding Totem - ( Scrying Orb can also be taken if preferred but a Warding Totem will allow a mid laner to keep up almost constant wards in river bushes to avoid ganks).Įarly game, build a Tear of the Goddess and begin building Sorcerer’s Shoes. Taking points in Twin Fang is playing offensively or focusing on Miasma if defending more than engaging and solo fighting the enemy mid lane champion.Īs the Rune and Summoner spells guide demonstrate, Cassiopeia is a champion that greatly benefits from maximum Ability Power over almost everything else.

These points distributed into these abilities will allow the ability burst combo explained in paragraph 5, under the sub-heading “Mid lane Guide/Tips”.įrom here on, begin unlocking abilities depending on how the mid lane game is playing out. At level 6 put the point into Petrifying Gaze.

Then, before the opportunity to unlock Cassiopeia’s ultimate ability is available, take another point in either Miasma or Twin Fang. The cooldown of Twin Fang is only half a second when the target is poisoned and this allows Cassiopeia to target several minions very quickly and the damage on Twin Fang usually kills poisoned minions with low health.Īt 4 th level, unlock Noxious Blast. Cassiopeia’s E ability – Twin Fang deserves the next two levels worth of points due to the ease it allows you to last hit minion after minion after minion while Miasma is poisoning a group. When playing Cassiopeia mid lane, take her W ability first, using it to effectively farm minions. Landing hits with Petrifying Gaze as well as Noxious Blast increases Cassiopeia’s movement speed so that she is able to chase down even the fastest enemies such as Lee Sin or Hecarim. If the scenario deems it necessary, Cassiopeia’s ultimate ability – Petrifying Gaze, could be used for a more reliable engage on enemies ( Petrifying Gaze will completely stun enemies facing Cassiopeia) or a tactic to catch escaping enemies ( Petrifying Gaze will significantly slow enemies with their backs to Cassiopeia). If Noxious Blast hits and enemy champion, Cassiopeia’s movement speed is also increased for a short time, this will allow an opportunity to catch an escaping target and maximise damage on that target or even get the kill (this combo will likely kill enemies around level 11 and under if abilities are used several times). Twin Fang could be used once or twice, depending on how far away the target is and if they are attempting to escape before using Noxious Blast, accounting for the small delay before the ability has.

This will take advantage of Cassiopeia’s E – Twin Fang, which deals magic and 55% ability power damage, and if the target is poisoned the abilities cooldown is also reduced to half a second. Start this combo with Cassiopeia’s W – Miasma, which will poison (for 2 seconds) and slow (for increasing amounts over 5 seconds) any enemies that pass through the small circle skillshot that lasts for 7 seconds. This advantage should be capitalized on by maximizing Ability Power and using Cassiopeia’s 3 abilities in an easy, fast combo. Cassiopeia is a fast caster and can burst abilities quicker than many mid laners you will be facing.
