Cassiopeia Build Guide by ilke994

If Top and Bot suit you better, go ahead :)

And no I don't although many people rocommand smart cast, I could never get used to it, although this is personal preferance if smart cast works for you, go ahead with it for sure :)

Hi, I was playing a normal game and I was laning against Anivia. I had a lot of trouble dodging her Q+E and I was usually OOM by the time I could force her into her egg. Any tips?

Well, tell me do you have MP5 runes or so?

If not you may want to either me careful with your spamming or maybe go for Rod of Ages until you get a hang of Cassiopeia's abilities and learn how to preserve mana.

Also when I go against Anivia I tend to max my E over Q, mainl;t because I can burst her down in 3-4 Twin Fangs.

If you play on EU West, feel free to add me as ilke994 and I can help you in game ^^

I unfortunately play on the NA Server so I can't add you, but I have been watching your replays :D. I'm only lv21 so I don't have all my mp5 runes yet, only about 6 of em, and I prefer the flat ones for the early game advantage. I also had trouble laning against a Lux one time due to her insane range on Q and E. Any tips against those?

Lux is tricky one, but most people go back and try to be far away from her, you too probably, I don't know. But what you should do is push yourself towards her and get her into your range, after her Q and E (If she hits you and due to your MS tey shouldn't) she has CD and you have spam and DMG donstantly, so abuse her long cooldown against her.

And by going away from Lux you just allow her to maximise her long range, don't, go towards her be aggressive and make her long range either useless or make it work against her.

Just keep pushing her and be close to her, she should fall fast while you can easly avoid her Q and E.

Cassiopeia

Very nice GUIDE GJ!

Thanks for the guide guy.

I am gacefully 'cause you included movespeed Quints.

I did it since I started to play with her from April this year, as you could read in my guide. I just thought I was really weird. But by other hand I use Mpen blues, I like on her, but don't know why I never did maths behind this.

Just things I don't totally agree are Rylai is usually treated as core, not in my case, it adds slow and that's the important fact, but I always played her without it specially because I feel it put me back in game in terms of damage if there some enemy bruisers who get his MR raised by level or runes.

Sometimes I can get Lich Bane by counterpart to Rylai it adds movement to you but not slow to enemies ( 15% vs 7%). 'Though, it is not usually in my games ( shown on guides), the fact of Lich Bane is not because u don't shoot between spells ( it does) it is because range of spells is longer than Autoattack. So it will do if they are in range. Usually, you shouldn't be.

So I do 3 core items as Rabadon, Wota and Void Staff. Starting with boots and pots, 2 rings, Revolver, Rabadon, Wota, and Void.

I just dont like Roa on a called SuperBurstAPNuker 'cause my only intention is to kill and get many damage as I can in a few seconds. If I need some defense I prefer one item purely defensive like Banshee, Frozen or Guardian.

Sometimes I get Exhaust, but I think it is not an unexperienced term. I like ignite and I use it most of times, but behind the case there is a simple explantion, Exhaust is covered by the Carry AD so someone have to get ignite and usually is the AP carry, I specially like it if the team has organization, cause if not support or bruiser covers you, exhaust can save you from a bruiser or an Ad carry carry coming to you( late game), more than ignite could do.

By Overall, Sorry for my english, Positive to you guide ( Best one I read).

Just went 19/9/17 with this build in ranked. I approve. The only think that is different from my personal preference is that I like to level up Q,E,E,W then fangs up first because it gives me more power in a 1v1 at mid. Even though it brings my farm down a little bit I feel more comfortable with the DPS incase the champion across from me gets too cocky. But I digress, great build! +1

Glad I could help you guys, well as you can see this guide encourages you to make your own custmised Cassiopeia the way you feel comfortable about playing her, the cheat sheet is there only if you randomd her and are in panic.

Once you find build you are comfortable with, it is all good, thanks for comments ^^
