Read from Syndra's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Kassadin.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Syndra | Level 1 favours you as Kassadin has no early trading pattern and eats your poke. |
| Level 2 | Syndra | Level 2 favours you because you shove and deny his farm freely. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3: E stun punishes any attempt to trade or step up. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5: your poke keeps him behind before his power spike. |
| Level 6 | Syndra | Level 6 favours you because E catches his Riftwalk and your combo bursts him. |
| First item | Syndra | First item favours you as your burst still kills him before his stacks ramp. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | At two-plus items you favour the matchup by stunning his telegraphed blink engages. |
Levels 1-2 heavily favour you: Kassadin has no waveclear or trade tools, so you free-poke with Q Dark Sphere and set the tempo. Track Kassadin Riftwalk: only 5/3.5/2s, but each cast in a row doubles the mana — his real limit is the mana bar, not the timer. This is your window to end the game: Kassadin is helpless pre-6, so QQ poke him relentlessly and shove so he can't farm safely.
