Kassadin vs Ziggs

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Kassadin is a scaling assassin who must survive Ziggs's early poke and wave pressure before hitting level 6.
Avoid giving Ziggs free lane control or poke windows by managing wave and health carefully early on.

Trading pattern

Trade only short bursts after level 6 with R when Ziggs W is on cooldown or mana is low.
Use Q to block Ziggs Q poke and E slow to control short trades.
Avoid extended trades pre-6 as Ziggs's poke and waveclear dominate early pressure.

Danger windows

Pre-6 Kassadin is vulnerable to Ziggs's poke and displacement from W.
Kassadin is at risk if R is used aggressively without mana for escape.
Ziggs W availability creates a threat window where Kassadin must avoid all-ins.

Early game

Farm safely near tower to minimize damage from Ziggs Q and E poke.
Use Q shield to absorb magic poke but avoid extended trades before level 6.
Do not overuse R early to keep mana for escapes after Ziggs W displacement.

Power spikes

Kassadin's major spikes: level 6 R, first major AP item, and level 11 for stronger R uptime.
Respect Ziggs's major spikes: level 6 Ziggs R and first completed mage poke item.

Win conditions

Survive early lane safely to reach level 6 and unlock R mobility and burst.
Use R to punish Ziggs when W is down or Ziggs misses Q poke.
Leverage Kassadin's mobility post-6 to flank and pressure side lanes, denying Ziggs free siege setups.

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