Let me help rework this article in a more concise and valuable format.

Kassadin is a late-game AP assassin who excels in the midlane. While his early game presents significant challenges, his level 16 power spike makes him one of the strongest champions in League of Legends.

Ability Order:

  1. Max E first (Force Pulse)
  2. Put 3 points in Q (Null Sphere)
  3. Max W second (Nether Blade)
  4. Finish Q last

Level 1-3 Priority:

  • Level 1: E (Force Pulse)
  • Level 2: W (Nether Blade)
  • Level 3: Q (Null Sphere)

Key Mechanics:

  • Flash-Ult Combo: Cast Riftwalk then Flash during animation to extend range
  • Basic Combo: Riftwalk > W > Q > E > Riftwalk
  • Use W frequently to restore mana and maximize damage output

Core Items:

  1. Starting: Doran's Shield + Health Potion
  2. Core Build:
    • Rod of Ages
    • Sorcerer's Shoes
    • Seraph's Embrace
    • Rabadon's Deathcap

Situational Items:

  • Zhonya's Hourglass (vs AD threats)
  • Crown of the Shattered Queen (vs burst)
  • Void Staff (vs magic resistance)

Early Game Strategy:

  • Focus on safe farming with E
  • Avoid unnecessary trades before level 6
  • Use W to secure last hits under tower
  • Conserve mana for essential trades

Mid-Late Game:

  • Look for roaming opportunities post-6
  • Stack ultimate charges before teamfights
  • Target squishy backline champions
  • Use mana management to maintain presence in extended fights

I notice the original ends abruptly at "Laning Phase" - would you like me to elaborate more on specific aspects of the guide?
