Read from Lissandra's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Cassiopeia.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is a skill check over dodging her Noxious Blast poke. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays even as both trade on cooldowns and positioning. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 remains skill-dependent around her Q hits and your E dodges. |
| Levels 4-5 | Cassiopeia | At levels 4-5 Cassiopeia's Miasma zoning and Twin Fang DPS out-sustain you, favouring her. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 your point-and-click R beats her facing-dependent Petrifying Gaze, favouring you. |
| First item | Cassiopeia | On her first item Cassiopeia's kite and slow-ramp burst edge the trades back to her. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | At 2-plus items your reliable lockdown and dive out-scale her immobile body. |
Levels 1-3 are pure skill: dodge her Q Noxious Blast to deny her movement speed and she can't chunk you, but eat it and she snowballs the trade. Track Miasma is 24s at rank 1, 16s at rank 5, and grounds you — your claw cannot be used inside it, in or out. Cassiopeia's Twin Fang spam with Miasma ground zoning out-sustains and out-DPSs you at levels 4-5, so avoid extended trades in her poison pools.
