How to play against Cassiopeia

Lane and teamfight rules that hold regardless of your pick.

In lane and in teamfights

1. 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.
2. Build the wave toward your side when possible. A longer lane makes her easier to punish if she walks forward without Q landing.
3. Shove and move when she stays under tower clearing waves. Do not follow her into river unless you can enter first with vision.
4. Attack from angles that force her to turn. Avoid chasing in a straight line where Q into repeated E controls the whole skirmish.
5. 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.
