Introduction

Hi all, welcome to my guide. This is my first guide here on mobafire, so I'm hoping it turns out alright. My main champ is

Edit: After a lot of relentless testing, I have decided that it is better to play this character Hybrid. I discovered that by using items like

Edit: Title changed from The Kassassinator to Kassassins Creed.
So, your asking, "Why would I play AS Kassadin, if AP Kassadin is oviously much better?" The answer is simple. AP Kassadin has a powerful nuke, but after he uses it, all his abilities go on cooldown and hes pretty much hopeless for the next 5 seconds. During this time, AD Kassadin can use a less powerful nuke, cast
Nether Blade, and deliver a constant stream of DPS, dealing more damage than the nuke itself, until his abilities go off cooldown.

Lets say we got two
Kassadins. One of them is using the standard AP Caster build, and the other is using this AS/AD build. The AP Kass has 400 AP from his build. The AD/AS one has only the 30 AP from
Trinity Force.
The AP Kassadin, at 400 AP, deals 560 damage with his
Null Sphere and
Force Pulse. In addition, he deals 440 damage with his
Riftwalk, totaling in a powerful nuke of 1560 damage.
Now the AS Kassadin only has 165 AP, making his
Null Sphere and
Force Pulse only deal about 400 damage, and his
Riftwalk deals about 200. This totals a nuke of 1000.
Then,
Nether Blade is activated. Using this full build, you will have about 1.9 attacks per second. This means 9.5 attacks during the duration of
Nether Blade. Which, in turn, signifies, that during 5 seconds, you have 9.5 attacks that each deal 390 damage, a total of 3705 damage! 3705+1000=4705. You deal 4705 damage over a 5 second period. And the best thing is that, after that, you can nuke em' again!

These are pretty standard AD runes, with armor pen marks, flat AS seals, flat armor glyphs, and flat health quints. Feel free to use your own runes, or change runes, until you feel comfortable that you are getting the maximum benefits. Just saying: I am not a rune mastermind, so I might have a couple of mistakes.

Greater Mark of Desolation: Flat armor pen. Typical for an AD build, great armor allows you to deal more damage early-late game.

Mid Game
Mid game generally starts from level 7. This is when you can start playing more aggressively. When your lane is free, go to other lanes and help gank. At this point, you should do a fair amount of damage with the

Thanks for reading my build. Please feel free to comment and give me suggestions to improve this guide. Remember that this guide is not nearly finished, and I will continue updating and making it better(Adding screenshots, videos, etc). As more people comment on this guide, I will continue uptdating the build based on suggestions given to me, so that eventually, it is no longer just my build, it is the communities build. When I made this guide, my goal was to present a new way to play a champion that I really enjoy: Kassadin. So don't downvote just because it is a new concept. Comment what I shoould do to make this build better.
Feel free to leave your personal experiences with this build. AS Kassadin can be great if played correctly. Again, thank you for reading!
