| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Orianna | You dominate level 1 because Kassadin has no waveclear or kill threat into your ball poke. |
| Level 2 | Orianna | You favour level 2 as your Q-W shove and chip out-pressure his weak early. |
| Level 3 | Orianna | You favour level 3 by perma-shoving and chunking his last-hits. |
| Levels 4-5 | Orianna | You favour 4-5 keeping him under tower with no way to trade back. |
| Level 6 | Orianna | You still favour 6 with a lead, though Riftwalk gives him some relief. |
| First item | Even / skill | Level 6 window is skill-based because Riftwalk lets him dodge your R and roam. |
| Two+ items | Orianna | At two items your Shockwave and lead can still catch him before he out-scales. |
You crush Kassadin at levels 1-3: he has no waveclear and no kill pressure, so your ball-toss poke and Q-W shove let you push him under tower and chunk him for every last-hit. Keep the wave crashing so he either misses CS or eats plates. His only tool is the E silence if you dive in carelessly, so poke from range and stack a big lead before he can scale.
