How to win lane as Annie against Kassadin · 48.31% win rate over 563 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is an even skill matchup with both champions just farming under short poke ranges. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays skill-dependent as neither side has landed a meaningful trade advantage yet. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3-5 remains a skill matchup — Kassadin's early weakness is real but punishable both ways. |
| Levels 4-5 | Annie | Levels 4-5 swing toward you as Tibbers' looming threat starts limiting his trade options. |
| Level 6 | Annie | Level 6 is your peak spike — Kassadin's mana-starved post-6 window lets your all-in kill him outright. |
| First item | Annie | First item still favors you since your burst output outpaces his early Riftwalk-reliant damage. |
| Two+ items | Annie | 2+ items favors Kassadin as full Riftwalk-CDR scaling turns him into a lethal late-game burst threat. |
Levels 1-2 are an even skill matchup where Kassadin's short Nether Blade range means neither side has a clear poke advantage yet — both champions are just farming and probing. Through levels 3-5 it stays skill-dependent: Kassadin is notoriously weak in this window with no mobility and low damage, so if you land a stun on an overextension you can punish hard, but he can also punish your own overextensions with Nether Blade-empowered autos. Play it as a even lane and look for any misstep.
