How to win lane as Naafiri against Kassadin · 53.11% win rate over 1,237 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Naafiri | Level 1 is yours because Kassadin has zero early pressure or waveclear. |
| Level 2 | Naafiri | Level 2 favours you as your Packmate trades crush his passive laning. |
| Level 3 | Naafiri | Level 3 belongs to you once W-Hound's Pursuit lets you all-in his weak body. |
| Levels 4-5 | Naafiri | Levels 4-5 stay yours since he can only farm defensively while you dive. |
| Level 6 | Naafiri | Level 6 favours you as his first R-Riftwalk is too short to escape your R all-in. |
| First item | Naafiri | At first item you still one-rotation him and snowball through roams. |
| Two+ items | Kassadin | Into 2+ items Kassadin flips ahead-his stacked Riftwalk and burst outscale your kit. |
Kassadin is helpless levels 1-5 with no waveclear and a purely defensive Q-Null Sphere, so you smash the lane: W in every trade, use Packmate on-hit to chunk him, and freeze or shove to starve his farm.
