Introduction
Welcome to xracer022's Kassadin Guide!
Hello my name is xracer022 but just call me racer if you want to :) Thanks for checking my guide out! I am playing Kassadin since season 10 and i really enjoy playing him with a high winrate in Grandmaster / Challenger on EUW. I think i can teach you really good how to play and climb with him easily.
I am sure that you will learn much with my guide and get more knowledge about him. You will have much fun aswell like me cause of the unique playstyle of the champion and the high kill potential.
I regularly stream on Twitch if you want to ask something or just learn how to play by watching the stream.

Why Should I Play Kassadin?
"The balance of power must be preserved."
Cutting a burning swath through the darkest places of the world, Kassadin knows his days are numbered. A widely traveled Shuriman guide and adventurer, he had chosen to raise a family among the peaceful southern tribes—until the day his village was consumed by the Void. |

Overview of Kassadin's Abilities
P - Void Stone Magic-damage reducer. Kassadin is permanently ghosted and takes 10% reduced Magic damage magic damage.
Q - Null Sphere High damage magic ball. Kassadin fires an orb of void energy at the target enemy that deals magic damage and disrupts their ongoing channels. He also gains a Hybrid resistances icon shield that absorbs magic damage for 1.5 seconds.
W - Nether Blade Increased auto-attack. Kassadin empowers his next basic attack within 5 seconds to have an Relentless Force 2 uncancellable windup, gain Range icon 50 bonus range, deal increased bonus magic damage, and restore Mana icon mana, with the restoration amount quintupled against Champion icon champions. Nether Blade Bladework resets Kassadin's basic attack timer.
E - Force Pulse Really big void-wave. Each time Kassadin or a nearby Champion icon champion casts an ability, Force Pulse's Cooldown icon current cooldown is reduced by 0.75 seconds. Kassadin emits a pulse of void energy in a cone in the target direction that deals magic damage to enemies hit and Slow icon slows them for 1 second.
R - Riftwalk Teleportation spell. Kassadin Flash blinks toward the target location, dealing magic damage to all nearby enemies upon arrival. He then gains a stack of Riftwalk for 15 seconds, refreshing on subsequent casts and stacking up to 4 times. For each stack, Riftwalk deals bonus magic damage at an increased Mana icon mana cost. Riftwalk will cast at max range if cast beyond that.

Runes & Summoner Spells
This section will feature everything you need to know about the pre-game as Kassadin. After rigorous testing, I have come to the conclusion that you only need one (1) rune page to be able to succeed with Kassadin in every game. Kassadin has the option of choosing between resolve-tree and sorcerer-tree. I prefer the resolve-tree cause of the matchups. Almost every matchup is hard to play for kassadin so this tree helps you alot.
The Only Runes You Need
This your standard rune page and it can basically be taken into any matchup without any further adaptation. The strength of this rune page is that it only contains synergetic runes with respect to Kassadin's abilities, his playstyle and weak laningphase. The rune page is extremely efficient if you just want to farm and still do damage when it comes to it.

Itemization
In this chapter I'll introduce you to my recommended build path for Kassadin and give brief descriptions of Kassadin's best items and their purposes. Itemization in League is a complex problem and it is impossible to find a general solution. However, it is possible to find a solution that works well enough in most games. Kassadin is reliant on items for mana and ap, rushing Rod of Ages is necessary in most games. I recommend purchasing your boots thereafter. The rest of the items should be purchased in the same order like you see in this chapter.

Trading Pattern
Matchups
Split-pushing
Game Progression
Early-Game 00:00 - 11:00
During this period of the game you have a really good chance to solo kill your lane opponent with your high burst damage abilities. It's really easy and fast to get kills on kassadin in this state of the game. But you have to care about ganks or roams. If you get some kills you can snowball in the mid-game really quickly.
Mid-Game 11:00 - 20:00
It's mid-game now and hopefully you have got some kills over the early game. You can have some items now and stack ap really easy and quick. You can permanently push your wave and bind your enemy on the turret. If you do that you can easy roam bot or top or get some vision for your team. You have much more pressure than your enemy because he has to farm under tower meanwhile you already roam.
Late-Game 20:00 - 45:00
In the late-game, you have such a high ap score and can easy oneshot the enemies, and blink over the enemies with your ultimate. You just have to care about assassins and heavy ad champions like zed, talon or control champions which can hard CC you or burst you down.
Skin Tier List
Conclusion
Kassadin is a really good champion for beginners and easy to play in every rank. You can easily carry games alone and climb really fast and consistant. But the champion is hard to master so care, kassadin has also many disadvantages. I will update this guide whenever I have more time with any information I can come up with that might help, so stay tuned and maybe check back every once in a while.
