Hello, although I've changed my LoL account name numerous times, my current account name is Saké, and this is my guide to Kassadin, my main character. A friend of mine originally taught me how to play him, but since then I've deviated and experimented with him, so much so I feel comfortable writing a guide on how to build and play him on Mobafire, so, here goes nothing I suppose.
To Start: Kass is an AP Carry, very notable for his ultimate, which gives him high mobility and the ability to juke like no other champ in the game (if you hear people saying "Kass OP" in a game, chances are they are referring to his Riftwalk) He can be devastating at lower skill levels, up to mid level games (I am only SILVER ELO, so I doubt I could pull any of the stuff I normally pull with him in Platinum, even Gold I would have a tough time with)
This Guide: Basically my main differentiator between my guide and other Kassadin guides on here is my risk-takers build order. Probably the thing that most Kass veterans will immediately notice with my build is that I have not included ROD OF AGES. Don't get me wrong, it's a wonderful item on him, but for this guide, it simply won't do. The focus of this build is to start small, build a few key starter items, and quickly build momentum, regardless of whether you are racking up the kills or not (hopefully if you're not getting kills you're at least farming up a storm) The main turning point for this build is the explosion of AP that occurs mid game, thanks to the Rabadon's Deathcap + Zhonya's Hourglass item combination.





1. QE Combo
Description: When in range, silence and then use your force pulse to slow.
2. RQE Combo
Description: Riftwalk over to your target, immediately silence them, use your force pulse to slow.
3. RQEW Combo
Description: Riftwalk over to your target, immediately silence them, use your force pulse to slow, then activate your Nether Blade and auto attack them once or twice before retreating. This helps recover mana and put an extra one hundred damage on them or so.
4. RQERQ Combo
Description: Riftwalk over to your target, immediately silence them, use your force pulse to slow, auto attack as needed, then perform a second riftwalk onto them, fire a second null sphere, and then back off.
5. RQEWRQ Combo
Description: Riftwalk over to your target, immediately silence them, use your force pulse to slow, activate your Nether Blade, auto attack as needed, then perform a second riftwalk onto them, fire a second null sphere, auto attack as needed, and then back off.

FROM A GLANCE:

Greater Seal of ReplenishmentSEALS (YELLOWS) - Greater Seal of Replenishment (Flat Mana Regen): After much deliberation and testing, I have come to the conclusion that Flat Mana Regen yellows are an optimal choice on Kass. Makes you that much less dependent on blue, and a bigger nuisance via an increase in your ability to spam your Null Sphere, among other things.


ALTERNATIVES:

greater seal of vitalityGreater Seal of Vitality (HP/Lvl): If you find yourself needing some extra health on you, then these runes are a great choice. A set of nine of these will give you almost 175 extra health at level 18.
