Kassadin vs Lissandra

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Kassadin is a scaling assassin with low early pressure who must survive Lissandra's medium early agency and control mage poke.
Focus on avoiding extended trades and preserving health until level 6 unlocks R for mobility and burst.

Trading pattern

Prioritize short trades after level 6 using R for quick engage and disengage while managing mana.
Respect Lissandra W root and Lissandra R lockdown; avoid committing when these are available.
Punish Lissandra if she uses Lissandra E aggressively without follow-up by counter-engaging with R burst.

Danger windows

Kassadin is vulnerable pre-6 due to low mobility and Lissandra's crowd control threat.
Avoid extended trades when Lissandra's W and R are off cooldown to prevent lockdown.
Be cautious when low on mana after repeated R casts, as escape options diminish.

Early game

Farm safely near tower to avoid Lissandra's poke and root threat from Lissandra W.
Use Q to absorb magic damage and avoid taking unnecessary damage before level 6.
Avoid pushing the wave too hard to minimize Lissandra's engage angles with Lissandra E.

Power spikes

Kassadin's major power spike is level 6 when R enables mobility and burst.
Respect Lissandra's level 6 spike with Lissandra R, which provides lockdown and self-peel.
Kassadin's first completed AP item further enhances burst and sustain in trades.

Win conditions

Survive early lane pressure and reach level 6 to unlock R for mobility and burst trades.
Use R to flank or punish Lissandra when she overextends or uses Lissandra E without backup.
Scale into mid to late game where Kassadin's mobility and burst outmatch Lissandra's control.

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