Essential Tips:

• Monitor mana usage during early trades
• Only trade after landing Q
• Strong level 2 all-in potential
• Best synergy with jungle champions like Rammus (58.7% WR) and Rek'Sai (57.2% WR)

Alternative builds include Phase Rush for better mobility or defensive itemization against specific threats. Adjust your build path based on matchup and team composition.

Remember to position safely and maximize your DPS by landing Q before spamming E in teamfights. Cassiopeia scales extremely well into late game, so focus on farming and surviving early if against counter picks.
