Read from Kled's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Kassadin.
This is Kled's own plan; across 246 pooled games the lane is Kled-favoured.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Kled | Kassadin is one of the worst level-1 champs alive with only Null Sphere — step up and auto him while his anti-AP shield does nothing against your AD. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Your Violent Tendencies (W) shotgun shots out-DPS his Q poke, but a careful Kassadin can just last-hit and stall, so it is close until you commit. |
| Level 3 | Kassadin | He has no escape until 6 — Bear Trap (Q) sticks him and your E-yank re-E all-in chunks him through his weak Null Sphere shield. |
| Levels 4-5 | Kassadin | You still out-trade a pre-Riftwalk Kassadin with remount sustain, but he is purely playing to survive and farm to 6 now. |
| Level 6 | Kassadin | His Riftwalk (R) blink lets him flicker out of your E return and dodge your Q yank — your clean all-ins stop landing, so bait the blink first. |
| First item | Kassadin | His first AP item plus Riftwalk spam starts to kite your engage and his magic burst ignores your bulk — your window is closing. |
| Two+ items | Kled | Past two items he out-scales hard, but your Trinity/Eclipse percent-HP Q and R let you splitpush 1v1s he cannot answer — close the game on the side lane. |
Level 1 is actually yours here — Kassadin is one of the most pathetic level-1 champs in the game with only Null Sphere (Q), so step up and chip him with autos while his magic shield is irrelevant against your AD. At level 2 your Violent Tendencies (W) on-hit shots out-trade his poke hard, and at 3 you get the full kit: land Bear Trap (Q) to slow and tag him, reactivate to yank yourself in, then W-shred. Skaarl's free health bar eats his weak Q poke, so don't be shy — he has zero escape until 6 and nothing to punish your commit.
