Hey, I really liked your guide ! It's so in-depth and it really did help me play and understand better. I love your layout too. is such a fun champion and I don't know why I didn't pick her up sooner ! (fun fact: I had a guy flame me once bc I didn't have boots at 20min. as cassiopeia...)

Greeting Xavier Senori, this guide is amazing i have no words, ummm yeah i wanted to ask you can some other runes work on this build too??? by the way you did very nice job you explained it you spent allot of time and this guide is really great people like it, and one more thing, you should add synergies.

Hello, thank you for the kind words! I briefly mention in the guide that Sorcery/Domination with Taste of Blood/Cheap Shot and Ravenous Hunter is definitely a really viable option. Domination/Sorc with Dark Harvest is also being used quite effectively

Thoughts on the domination secondary. I see alot of ppl are running it but more often than not I find lack of mana and thus wave control to be an issue. I feel like domination secondary would be more of an assassin counter setup but I want to hear your thoughts on it. Also any tips on proper minion demo usage?

Can I go electrocute on Cass?

Hey I was wondering about the build path. Should I go off the items you have posted at the top of the page and ignore the notes and item section? I say that bc the both mention items you don't have listen (namely ROA). Also in the notes it say tear into ROA before AA staff. Should I just build them in the order the graphic shows? Tear into AA staff then Rylal's into Morello?

(3) |

The meta changes so frequently that I just haven't gotten to update the notes in the item section. However, I DO frequently update the build at the top of the page, go with that one! And yes, I have them in correct build order, but always use your own judgment! If you are getting one shotted, you may consider building rylais before upgrading to AA staff for example

Thanks for the quick reply. I have one more question (at this point). When do you usually weave your aa into combos? You first thought would be between my e but I feel like that could result in the poison running out before I land all three e's.

Yes, I constantly weave my aa into combos, they are super responsive and actually hit pretty hard. Your priority should be to hit them with your Es, however

So what I do is just spam my E button as I chase the enemy while constantly right clicking them, this usually maximizes auto attack and makes sure your Es are being spammed on cooldown

First, thanks for writing this guide. You did an excellent job, and I think a lot of your ideas make sense and are spot on! I did have a question about a few items, especially related to mobility. As you note, mobility is pretty important for Cass, as she has to maintain distance and be shifting in and out of range to fight. Obviously items are situational, but would you ever consider running , , or on her? I feel like would be really good, it has tons of AP, some MS, and its active can let you escape, unexpectedly duel someone, or give you a bit of burst without taking away sustained damage. The other two, while they won't give you as much damage as some items, still give you decent damage and some mobility (and slows for the shadows) that help keep you safe. What are your thoughts? If you would consider these items, when, and what would you replace for them?

(3) |

I think all three of these are definitely viable options, with spellbinder and hextech being amazing options when you need burst + mobility. I'm not a huge fan of twin shadows because I feel like I waste the CD stats, but I have definitely bought it before when I needed to peel for myself!

Cool, thanks!

Have you ever tried/considered Hextech Gunblade on Cassi with Taste of Blood and Raveneous hunter ?
With full items (Rylai, Void, Rab, Liandry, Seraph) Hextech Gunblade and Taste of Blood healed in average 190 hp on hit (Q+E). And that's Raveneous hunter was not in place (can't have 5 bots in practice tool).
And as a bonus Gunblade helps to kite and chase enemies.

Hi, great guide, the only thing I'm wondering is if I really should buy Rod and Seraphs, some people told me that it's better to get only one of those and preferably seraphs becuase you already get so much mana from that, what's your opinion about that?

(3) |

I actually agree with you, RoA is a bit out of favor right now, most people just go seraphs, I will update the guide soon to reflect this, thanks!

Hey, you should switch to in your vision section. Guide looks great by the way. :)

Nice guide and ways of building a strong champ.
I have noticed that not many people pick her though, is she really that bad in this stage of the game? Or just the difficulty (because, let's be honest, she's hard to handle) is just too much for the players? Too bad we don't see her in games anymore because she's lovely.
Your guide is helping a lot too, although it seems a bit too much defensive which maybe is a good thing to not cause flame in your team for playing recklessly. :D

Cassiopeia is being played A LOT in high elo/tournaments because she excels in team settings. If you can depend on your top and bot lane to not feed, she can carry the late game. Solo queue is a little hard for her because she requires peel and her roaming potential isn't as great as a lot of the more popular mids right now (ahri, TF, Zed, etc). On top of that, other lanes can lose you the game sometimes before you even start ramping up in solo queue.

And just like you said, she is hard to play, which means you could get similar results with an easier to play champ like ahri for example.

You are right, I do play cassiopeia a little more defensively, but thats mostly in solo queue. When I play with my friends, I play much more aggressively, because I know that if I mess up and fall behind, they will carry me to my late game spike
