This is Veigar's own plan; across 2,634 pooled games the lane is even.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Veigar | Veigar-favoured: Kassadin can't trade at level 1 and you shove and poke him freely. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 lets you Q-W harass him off CS with no answer. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 gives you E cage to lock and punish his farming. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | He stays helpless pre-6 while you deny farm through Levels 4-5. |
| Level 6 | Veigar | Veigar-favoured: your E cage stops his Riftwalk escape cold even after his level 6 spike. |
| First item | Veigar | Veigar-favoured: your fat free-farm stack one-shots him before he affords his item spike. |
| Two+ items | Veigar | Veigar-favoured: your cage neutralizes his mobility so you out-duel him even late. |
You crush Levels 1-2 — Kassadin has no way to trade back, so shove the wave, Q-W him off every cast, and deny as much CS as you can before he comes online. Track Riftwalk is 5s at rank 1 and 2s at rank 3 — never chase; cage the landing instead. You hard-own the early game: Kassadin is helpless pre-6, his Q (Null Sphere) only shields against your magic and he can't trade, so cage him with E and Q-W poke him off the wave every cooldown.
