Cassiopeia Gameplay

Gameplay

Runes, Masteries, and Summoner spells My runes are magic pen. reds, health flat yellows, magic res. blues, and AP flat purples. If you are against an AD champion, I think it's better magic pen reds, armor flat yellows, AP/level blues, and AP flat purples. I like playing her with 21/9/0, but also 21/0/9 aren't bad on her. I pick and . I like right now because reduce damage and also defensive stats, it's very strong against burst champion.

Starting Items and Laning phase I start with and 2x . At level 1, you need to start with E for last hit because her autoattack sucks, so you autoattack and E right away. You need to kill every minions before next wave comes. So don't pull your jungler, just cover, but please don't pull! At level 2, I prefer W before. It has same mana costs and more damage after 9 sec. It's prefer for push and generate more stacks, but your enemy will be more aggressive. So if you push quickly (try to last with E and AA, don't lose mana), he'll return defensive or he'll lose too much minions. Next, also if you push, you need to stay in middle because you are weak (When you play cassio, jungler love camping you). Hovewer, your E has like 750 range, so you can land if sometimes against him, and gain one free stack. Indeed, Q is better at level 2 if you play against melee. At level 3, I think E is better than another poison spell. If you take Q at level 2, you have to level up your E. Then R>E>Q>W.

Tricks

1. If you have an enemy in melee champion chasing you, cast W between. If he run on it, you cast your R and then spam your E.

Itemization

1. Cassiopeia has good base damage but bad scaling, so magic pen is very good on her. Pick or like first or second item. Never pick .
2. is a good pick because it helps cassio to land her Q.

Some Problems

1. Cassiopeia has mana problems when she play aggressive in team fight and laning phase. In laning phase, you need to turn aggressive and defensive playstayle checking your mana, in late game, in team fight, your mana can still be a problem also if you build some mana item. However she need to build something like or . (90 mana spell can be casted 3 times at seconds in late game)
2. Cassiopeia's Q is best way to poison your enemy. Problem is delay of 0.65s. If you play Cassiopeia before rework that wasn't a problem, now it is because E checks your poison when you cast it. (= , it must be bought)

I don't an old cassiopeia player, I just play her after rework and I just want to give you an input about play her.
