Runes

Marks


For marks I prefer magic penetration marks 0.95 * 9 makes you braking throw magic resist like God ^^

You can take ability power,too but I prefer Magic pen. > Ablity Power


Glyphs


For Glyphs I prefer ability power, because they impact most 0.99 ablity power is very much
and there is no reason to test some thing else then abliity power runes :D

And for the big runes i realy would recommend 4.95 ablity power but you can take Magic Penetration aswell


Seals


For seals i prefer mana regen( because you get fast out of mana without archangel's or Rod of Ages)
you can also take pure ability power as well.

Masteries

The Masteries on the red tree on 3/4 // 4/4 right is escpacilly for ap champs very good
and for Kassadin mana regenation per 5s --> on the green tree is very n1 so take it





And one VERY Important thing is that you take " Runic affinety " ... so you can hold your blue buff longer ^^ )

Items (BIG UPDATE )

There existing many differnt ITEM builds for Kassadin ....
This is my favourite ONE

RECOMMENDED BUILD


Core items

;
(( Magic penetration boots --> MUST HAVE ))

;

(( Life+Mana+AP This item gives you all you need AND a great passiv !! ))

;
(( So much AP Cause it ;D )

(( Void Staff is a very good item espacally cause the magic penetration ))


Optional items



RECMMENDED Optional Items


(( Mana+Life+MAGIC RESIST and a Amazing Passiv )) (against mages)

(( AP+Magic resist+Magic pen ( passiv ) )) (against mages)

;
(( Ablity power + Armor and a great passiv this item will save your *** )) (against NoMages)

(( Mana+ Armor AMAZING CD )) (against NoMages)


THIS ARE THE 4 Items you have the choice between. Take 2 off them, which are best against your enemys !!



OTHER Items



This Item is very USEFULL not only for Kassadin but if comination with Kassadin - the JUMPER
you are able to get away Very simple

This Item can protect you against cc hurry use it !!


I wouldn't buy this Item cause maybe you had a good start 20 stacks on it tons on tons of ablity power but now the TF phase starts and you get focused hard by let's say High elo Nocturne and your power fall , fall , fall.
I never would buy an Item depends how good you at the moment all can change very fast
And anyway don't anybody try to fcous the nuker so if you bought this and you later get focused the game won't end nice for you !!
DON'T BUY IT !!


Why we should buy that Item we habe enough NUKE DMG we don't need IT, it's wasted !!


This Item is not nessacary Kassadin got enough slow !!


This Item can be strong if one other mage in your team also bought it you get about 50 % spell vampire ( yes it stack )(just not two one the same person ) but if you the only one with it I wouldn't buy it, there are other better possibiltys


We already got enough mana regen and only for this less AP and the CD we don't buy this .
There are other better possibiltys


Are you serious don't you think Kassadin deals enough dmg with his other spells ... I don't think this Item is neaded ...

This is Kassadins Skill, make him something special ... !!
I just love this skill cause in early / mid game it's a nice gap closer /gap maker skill and in late game it's a 3.rd nuke spell with upper than 6.stacks on it, it realy deals tons on dmg.




Combos laneing 1 (before lvl 6) (prefer)-->


Start with teasing your enemys with 3 to 5 q spells in a row
till the enmys is low life 1/2 // 1/3 NOW u do --->

and if its NEEDEDUse your Ignite thats what it is for

pros
still much dmg per time
THE WOW effect if the enemy is half life and you nuke him our of his sick life with your overawesome combo dmg !!

cons
nothing :D




Combos laneing 2 (before lvl 6)(not prefered) -->



go to your enemy atack him withand on spell after each other

---> do that till your enemy die AND DON'T FORGETT YOUR IGNITE !!

pros
much dmg out put less time

cons
the enemy will fast go on to play passive style if he see your dmg
you will take more dmg if you nuke and aren't fast away out of enemys range don't chase just nuke

Combo laneing (after lvl 6 ) 1 (((I do both combos depends on the situation))) -->

go to your enemy till the range of your q spell can reach him now use

now come a bit closer to use your


now port away with one of the epicst ulti away so you can't take damage OR port on the enemys if he/she/it is low life with your
Combo laneing (after lvl 6 ) 2 (((I do both combos depends on the situation))) -->

port in rage of enemy with your [img=
Now do your

and then run away and collect mana for next atack to kill your enemy with the 2.nd combo





If i do (after lvl 6 combo 1 OR 2 ) depends on the situation AND on the oppement the 2.nd combo IS very epic vs veigar etc cause you have a big range where you can port yourself and the enemy don't know where you will appear so it's hard to continue but if you are to slow by getting away again you will get nuked or hited by an enemy combo as well
1.st combo you have to come to near to your enemy to shoot your skills this sometimes could be a big problem but you minimize the chance to get hitted by an counter nuke (thanks your q spell )
