How to play it

✓ DO

Respect his scaling

His Riftwalk spike defines the matchup — let it reach the late game and he becomes untouchable.

Play aggro mid game

Once you both have one item you can smack him 1v1 and carry teamfights — press the mid game.

Early window

When he has Tear-Catalyst and you have Lost Chapter you can beat him 1v1 — take that window.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never let the game stall out — Kassadin outscales you into unplayable, so you must close it in the mid game.
