Kassadin the Void Walker

Cutting a burning swath through the darkest places of the world, Kassadin knows his days are numbered. A widely traveled Shuriman guide and adventurer, he had chosen to raise a family among the peaceful southern tribes—until the day his village was consumed by the Void. He vowed vengeance, combining a number of arcane artifacts and forbidden technologies for the struggle ahead. Finally, Kassadin set out for the wastelands of Icathia, ready to face any monstrous Void-construct in his search for their self-proclaimed prophet, Malzahar.

MetaBot Tips

  • Kassadin has less crowd control than most champions. This can make locking down kills or ganking for other players more difficult.
  • Kassadin has a much higher late game win rate than their early game win rate. Take advantage of this by spending the early game farming and avoiding unneccessary fights.
  • Kassadin has a low base movespeed compared to many other champions. Play back towards your tower in lane, and consider early game boots when fighting skillshot-based laners.
  • Kassadin has more base armor than most champions, which makes them excellent in the early game against attack damage type enemies.
  • Kassadin has more magic resistance than most champions, which makes them excellent in the early game against magic damage type enemies.
  • Kassadin has more mana regen than most champions, making their playstyle optimal for aggressive trades in lane.

Gameplay Tips

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.
