Kassadin Mid and Late Game

What Kassadin does better or worse than other champions after laning, from this patch's ranked games — percentiles where 100 is the highest of every champion.

Play to these strengths

Kassadin is a main damage source (83/100): stay alive and in range for the whole fight rather than diving first.
Kassadin farms well (percentile 76): keep catching side waves between fights.

Mistakes to avoid

Vision is a weak spot (5/100): buy Control Wards and sweep before you face-check.

Playing Kassadin

Kassadin has multiple item paths; he can go caster via Mana and Ability Power or anti-caster with Cooldown Reduction and Magic Resist.
Kassadin's ultimate has many uses and is on a shorter cooldown than most, use it often.
Try to get the Ancient Golem buff to counteract Riftwalk's increasing Mana cost.

Playing Against Kassadin

Kassadin deals mostly magic damage. If he's doing well consider buying magic resist items like Mercury's Treads and Banshee's Veil.
Each time Kassadin consecutively uses Riftwalk, he pays more and more mana. Keep this in mind as you chase him.
It takes 6 spell casts for Kassadin's slow, Force Pulse, to become castable. If he levels up that ability, judiciously use your own skills while laning against him.
