Cassiopeia's strongest counters in mid lane include Qiyana, Syndra, Vel'Koz, and Taliyah, who can outrange and punish her immobility effectively.

Laning Against Cassiopeia

Cassiopeia's dangerous level 2 power spike comes from her Q and E combo. Match her level 2 timing (first wave plus one melee minion from second wave) to avoid being caught off-guard.

Early game mana management is crucial for Cassiopeia. Capitalize on her low mana moments, as this significantly reduces her trading potential.

Her lack of mobility makes her vulnerable to ganks. Allow her to push the wave and coordinate with your jungler for successful ganks.

Strategy Tips

• Keep distance between teammates in fights to avoid multi-target ultimates
• Avoid fighting in jungle chokepoints where her ultimate is most effective
• Stay vigilant when moving through river alone, as she excels at ambushing isolated targets
• Fight in open lanes where her ultimate's effectiveness is reduced

Key Power Spikes

• Level 2: Dangerous all-in potential with Q + E combo
• Tear of the Goddess: Marks the end of her early mana constraints
• Late Game: One of the strongest scaling champions with 6-item potential

Best Timing to Fight

• Early game before Tear of the Goddess
• When her mana is depleted
• After she misses her ultimate
• During her cooldown windows
