Cassiopeia Mid guide
Cassiopeia mid poisons a lane opponent and finishes them once they can't walk away from it: Noxious Blast (Q) blasts an area with poison and grants Move Speed on a champion hit, Miasma (W) drops clouds that slow, ground, and damage anyone passing through, and Twin Fang (E) hits poisoned targets for increased damage while healing her, with Petrifying Gaze (R) stunning anyone facing her and slowing anyone with their back turned. Serpentine Grace (passive) makes every Move Speed bonus on her more effective than it would be on another champion.
The build
Rune page: Deathfire Touch, Manaflow Band, Transcendence, and Scorch (Sorcery), with Presence of Mind and Coup de Grace (Precision). Summoners: Flash and Teleport. Skill order opens and maxes Twin Fang (E) first, with Noxious Blast (Q) second and Miasma (W) last. Starter: Doran's Ring and two Health Potions, into Boots of Swiftness. Core build: Tear of the Goddess, Rod of Ages, Seraph's Embrace, and Rylai's Crystal Scepter, with Liandry's Torment and Zhonya's Hourglass as later options.
Ability mechanics
Noxious Blast (Q) has a brief delay before it blasts an area with poison, granting Move Speed if it hits a champion. Miasma (W) releases several poison clouds that slow, ground, and lightly damage enemies passing through them, and a grounded enemy cannot use Movement abilities. Twin Fang (E) deals increased damage to poisoned targets and heals Cassiopeia for a percentage of the damage, refunding Mana if the target dies from it.
Matchups
Hardest matchups by win rate: Syndra, Ahri, Vladimir, Viktor, Katarina. Best matchups: Sylas, Locke, Yasuo.
