Kassadin Mid Guide: Mastering the Void Walker from Early to Late Game
Power farm and play safe until level 6. Your early game is weak and vulnerable to ganks, so focus on CS and surviving the laning phase.
At level 6, you gain significant kill pressure with your Ultimate (R). This is your first major power spike, allowing you to engage or escape as needed.
Your key power spikes are:
- Level 6: Unlocks Ultimate (R) for mobility
- Level 9: First ability maxed for increased damage
- Level 11: Two points in Ultimate, reduced cooldown
- Level 16: Maximum Ultimate power, extremely mobile
Mid-Game Strategy:
- Focus on farming side lanes and jungle camps
- Only take favorable fights
- Look for roaming opportunities after shoving waves
- Build your core items to scale into late game
Late-Game Impact:
- Group with team for objectives
- Look for picks using Ultimate mobility
- Split push if team needs map pressure
- Excel in team fights with burst damage
- Focus on flanking squishy targets
