Kassadin vs Lux

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Kassadin is a scaling assassin with low early agency and must survive Lux's high early poke and root threat.
Avoid giving Lux a passive lane by respecting her poke and root while focusing on safe farming to reach level 6.

Trading pattern

Use Q to shield Lux's poke and only trade short bursts after level 6 with R when Lux's Lux Q is on cooldown.
Punish Lux if she misses Lux Q by engaging briefly with R and W for burst and mana sustain.
Avoid trading when Lux's Lux Q and Lux E are available to prevent getting rooted and slowed.

Danger windows

Before level 6, Kassadin is vulnerable to Lux's Lux Q root and poke combo.
Kassadin is at risk if he uses R aggressively without enough mana to escape.
Avoid extended trades when Lux has Lux Q and Lux W available to block your damage and lock you down.

Early game

Stay near your tower to safely farm and use Q to absorb Lux's magic poke.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 as Lux has high lane pressure and root control.
Conserve mana and health to reach level 6 without falling behind.

Power spikes

Kassadin's major spike is level 6 when R grants mobility and burst.
Respect Lux's level 6 spike with Lux R, which can deal significant damage if caught.
Kassadin's first completed AP item further enhances his burst and sustain in trades.

Win conditions

Survive early poke and root to safely reach level 6 and unlock R for mobility and burst trades.
Use R to flank or short trade when Lux's Lux Q is on cooldown to punish overextensions.
Scale into mid and late game where Kassadin's mobility and burst outmatch Lux's poke and lack of mobility.

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