Cassiopeia Matchups Overview
Cassiopeia General information
Cassiopeia tips and tricks
In the early game, always keep an eye on your mana pool when trading as it goes quicker than you expect when trading with the enemy.
Only commit to a trade with the enemy when you’ve successfully landed a Q. You can follow the initial
Q with multiple
E’s afterwards for a favourable trade.
Cassiopeia has strong all-in potential at level 2 with her Q and
E spam. If you’re in a strong matchup and against a squishy champion, you should try to get an early lead once you get the level up.
