Read from Dr. Mundo's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Kassadin.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Dr. Mundo | You own level 1 — Kassadin has no waveclear or kill pressure and eats your shove. |
| Level 2 | Dr. Mundo | At level 2 you keep shoving and cleaver him whenever he steps up for CS. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 Q Infected Bonesaw dominates — he still can't answer your lane pressure. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Through 4-5 he remains helpless pre-ult while you deny his scaling farm. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 his R Riftwalk equalizes it into a skill lane — he can now disengage you. |
| First item | Even / skill | Around first item it stays skill-based as his Riftwalk stacking begins to scale. |
| Two+ items | Kassadin | Two items in Kassadin outscales hard, blinking past your slow onto the backline. |
You crush levels 1-4: Kassadin has zero kill pressure and weak waveclear before his ultimate, so shove with Q Infected Bonesaw, freeze or crash the wave onto his tower, and Bonesaw him whenever he steps up for CS — it stops on the first enemy hit, so throw it when no minion is between you.
