| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Cassiopeia | Cassiopeia's Q poke and move speed win the level-1 lane. |
| Level 2 | Cassiopeia | At level 2 her E chip and grounding threat keep you back. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is even if you dodge Q and avoid Miasma. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Level 4 her sustained E DPS tilts trades back to her. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 5 is even in the windows her W and R are down. |
| First item | Even / skill | At 6 Petrifying Gaze stuns you into a full combo — her favour. |
| Two+ items | Cassiopeia | With 2+ items your durability survives her DPS and you close. |
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.
