| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Neeko | Level 1 Kassadin is a helpless melee forced into your poke range. |
| Level 2 | Neeko | Level 2 you keep chunking him off every last-hit with impunity. |
| Level 3 | Neeko | Level 3 your full Q-E burst outclasses his short-range pre-6 tools. |
| Levels 4-5 | Neeko | Levels 4-5 he still can't trade back, so you dominate and deny farm. |
| Level 6 | Neeko | Level 6 your R punishes his low-mana Riftwalk before he can scale. |
| First item | Neeko | At first item your rooted combo one-shots him before Rod of Ages saves him. |
| Two+ items | Neeko | Two-plus items in you still out-tempo him by closing before his hyperscale lands. |
You crush levels 1-2: Kassadin is one of the weakest early melees in the game, forced to walk into caster range where your poke and clone pressure punish every last-hit. Shove the wave, chunk him off CS, and set up the tempo to roam or invite a gank while he's defenseless.
