How to win lane as Vex against Kassadin · 53.11% win rate over 789 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Vex | Level 1 Kassadin is helpless and you can shove and poke him freely. |
| Level 2 | Vex | Level 2 your W lets you punish any step-up while he can't retaliate. |
| Level 3 | Vex | Level 3 your W+Q all-in threatens a kill on a laner with no escape. |
| Levels 4-5 | Vex | Through levels 4-5 you keep denying CS and delaying his Riftwalk spike. |
| Level 6 | Vex | At 6 your Doom passive still fears his Riftwalk before he can chain blinks. |
| First item | Vex | First item you stay ahead and R answers his early Riftwalk engages. |
| Two+ items | Kassadin | With two items his stacked Riftwalks blink past your fear and out-scale you. |
Levels 1-5 are all yours. Kassadin is one of the weakest laners in the game before 6, so shove the wave into him, deny CS, and all-in with W+Q whenever he steps up for a caster minion. He has no way to fight back and his only defense is to Q-silence and back off. Every point of farm you deny pushes his Riftwalk spike later.
