Kassadin vs Yone

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Kassadin is a scaling assassin with low early agency who must survive Yone's early poke and all-ins until level 6.
Avoid giving Yone free trades by respecting his E + Q combo and only contesting the wave safely.

Trading pattern

Use Q shield to mitigate magic damage and trade minimally before level 6.
After level 6, use R for short, controlled trades only when Yone's E is down or poorly positioned.
Avoid trading when Yone has Q stacks ready for knockup or when his R is available for all-in.

Danger windows

Kassadin is vulnerable before level 6 due to low mobility and Yone's E + Q knockup threat.
Kassadin is at risk if he uses R aggressively without mana to escape afterward.
Yone's well-timed R can instantly turn fights, so avoid extended trades when it's available.

Early game

Farm safely near tower and use Q to absorb Yone's magic poke before level 6.
Avoid extended trades as Yone's E allows him to trade and snap back, punishing Kassadin's low early mobility.
Preserve mana and health to reach level 6 without falling behind.

Power spikes

Kassadin's major spikes: level 6 R, first completed AP item, and level 11 for stronger R uptime.
Yone's major spikes: level 3 unlock of Q-W-E combo with E extension and W shield, and first item power spike.
Respect Yone's level 3 power spike to avoid early all-ins before Kassadin reaches 6.

Win conditions

Survive early lane pressure and reach level 6 to unlock R mobility and burst.
Use R to punish Yone when he overextends or mispositions after using E.
Apply side pressure and short trades post-6 to leverage Kassadin's mobility and scaling burst.

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