Kassadin vs Neeko

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Kassadin is a scaling assassin with very high mobility who wants to survive early and use R to outplay Neeko post-6.
Kassadin should avoid giving Neeko lane pressure and early agency by playing defensively pre-6 and farming safely near tower.

Trading pattern

Before level 6, trade minimally using Q shield and avoid Neeko E root angles.
After level 6, use R for short, controlled burst trades when Neeko's R is down or she is out of position.
Preserve mana for R escape and avoid extended trades where Neeko can lock you down with E or R.

Danger windows

Pre-6 Kassadin is vulnerable to Neeko's E root and Q poke, avoid extended trades here.
When Neeko's R is available, respect her all-in threat and avoid clustering near minions.
Kassadin is in danger if he uses R aggressively without mana to escape afterwards.

Early game

Focus on safe last-hitting and use Q to absorb Neeko's magic poke without extended trades.
Avoid taking damage from Neeko E through minions by careful positioning.
Do not overcommit before level 6 as Kassadin's early agency is low and Neeko's poke and root can punish.

Power spikes

Kassadin's level 6 R unlocks mobility and burst to punish Neeko's lower mobility.
Kassadin's first completed AP item increases his burst threat and sustain in trades.
Neeko's level 6 R is a major all-in threat Kassadin must respect to avoid knock-up and burst.

Win conditions

Survive early poke and reach level 6 to unlock R mobility for short trades and side pressure.
Punish Neeko's missed E or R cooldown windows with quick R combos.
Use R to flank or escape, denying Neeko safe all-in angles and scaling into a stronger burst threat.

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