Early game (levels 1–5)

Cassiopeia controls the early lane through her Q (Noxious Blast) poke and the movement speed it grants her, letting her stay on top of you while chipping your health with E (Twin Fang). Levels 1-2 you can't out-poke her, and her W (Miasma) threatens to ground you the moment you try to dash in. Farm at range, dodge her Q, and don't step into the Miasma pool.
