| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Cassiopeia | Cassiopeia's Noxious Blast poke and an early Twin Fang give her a stronger level 1 than your offline cards. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At level 2 Blue Card and Wild Cards let you out-shove her before her Q sustain ramps. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Levels 3-5 are an even fight of her long trades versus your short Gold Card commits. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | The 4-5 window stays even as neither side has hit its defining spike yet. |
| Level 6 | Cassiopeia | Miasma grounds your Gate at 6 and Petrifying Gaze meets the all-in, blunting your roam threat. |
| First item | Even / skill | Cassiopeia out-scales hard on first item, winning every frontal duel with ground-and-DoT. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | With two-plus items it's a skill matchup decided by your flank picks versus her Petrify angle. |
Cassiopeia edges level 1: her Noxious Blast movement-speed poke and an early Twin Fang give her a stronger opener than your not-yet-online cards. At level 2 you can flip tempo with Blue Card sustaining you and Wild Cards out-shoving her before her Q sustain ramps, letting you deny her under tower. Track Cassiopeia Miasma: matchup-defining — 24s at rank 1 (16s max), and it grounds you: Gate dies inside it, so commit on its downtime.
