Kassadin vs Azir

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Kassadin is a scaling assassin who must survive early poke and avoid extended trades before level 6.
Avoid giving Azir a passive lane to freely place soldiers and scale his DPS.

Trading pattern

Use Q to shield Azir's magic poke and look for short trades post-6 with R when Azir's E and R are down.
Punish Azir if he uses E aggressively or wastes R defensively by engaging quickly with R and burst.
Avoid trading when Azir has soldiers well positioned or R is available to disengage or isolate.

Danger windows

Pre-6 Kassadin is vulnerable to Azir's soldier poke and Q slow; avoid extended fights.
When Azir's R is available, respect his displacement to prevent being caught or isolated.
Low mana after repeated R casts leaves Kassadin exposed to Azir's poke and zone control.

Early game

Farm safely near tower and use Q to absorb Azir's magic poke without overextending.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 to prevent Azir from leveraging soldier DPS and poke.
Conserve mana and health to reach level 6 without falling behind.

Power spikes

Kassadin's level 6 R grants mobility and burst to punish Azir's immobility.
Azir's level 6 R is a major threat; respect it to avoid displacement and follow-up damage.
Kassadin's first completed scaling AP item increases burst damage and survivability in trades.

Win conditions

Survive early lane and reach level 6 to unlock R for short, controlled burst trades.
Punish Azir's aggressive E or wasted R cooldowns with quick all-ins using R and Q.
Use Kassadin's mobility to flank or side pressure once scaling and item thresholds are met.

Tip: For Kassadin vs Azir, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
