## How to play against Cassiopeia

Lane and teamfight rules that hold regardless of your pick.

### In lane and in teamfights

- Take short trades after dodging Q, then leave before her E can repeat. Force her to spend mana on the wave instead of extended damage.

- Build the wave toward your side when possible. A longer lane makes her easier to punish if she walks forward without Q landing.

- Shove and move when she stays under tower clearing waves. Do not follow her into river unless you can enter first with vision.

- Attack from angles that force her to turn. Avoid chasing in a straight line where Q into repeated E controls the whole skirmish.

- Keep carries outside her sustained spell range until Q misses. Collapse only after she loses the speed and poison setup.

## Where Cassiopeia is weak

Exploit these in draft and in lane.

- Cassiopeia has no boots and limited instant repositioning, so flanks and long-range engage punish her spacing mistakes.

- Her sustained damage depends on poison uptime and mana, making cleanses, disengage, and burst disrupt her fights.
