| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Talon | Talon wins level 1 because Cassiopeia is slow and mana-starved with no early trade. |
| Level 2 | Talon | Talon wins level 2 because W-Q short trades beat her before Twin Fang is leveled. |
| Level 3 | Talon | Talon wins level 3 because she still can't kite a committed all-in yet. |
| Levels 4-5 | Cassiopeia | Cassiopeia wins levels 4-5 because online Twin Fang out-DPSes you once poison lands. |
| Level 6 | Talon | Talon wins level 6 because R stealth dodges Petrifying Gaze and lets you burst her. |
| First item | Cassiopeia | Cassiopeia wins first item because her Twin Fang spam shreds you through the poison. |
| Two+ items | Cassiopeia | Cassiopeia wins with 2+ items because her poison and face-stun R melt any engage you attempt. |
Levels 1-3 you dominate: pre-6 Cassiopeia is slow, mana-hungry, and immobile, so W-Q short trades and constant W poke keep her stacking low and shoving into your kill setups.
