− | *Don't hesitate to spam your spells since {{ai|Deadly Cadence|Cassiopeia}} makes each additional cast cheaper. {{ai|Noxious Blast|Cassiopeia}} does not require a target, so maintaining your 5 stacks is easy with a decent-sized mana pool. |

⚫ | *{{ai|Petrifying Gaze|Cassiopeia}} also allows {{ci|Cassiopeia}} to be a very strong anti-ganker. Simply casting it when your lane opponent and the enemy ganker are in range, then bursting down the weaker one with your combo can turn the 2v1 into a 1v1. This tactic is the only effective when your {{ai|Petrifying Gaze|Cassiopeia}} stuns both targets. |

||
− | ==Build usage== |
||
− | *Buying {{ii|Rylai's Crystal Scepter}} along with using {{ai|Twin Fang|Cassiopeia}} on a poisoned enemy gives her much more chasing potential, but don't forget hit enemy with {{ai|Noxious Blast|Cassiopeia}} from time-to-time to refresh the poison and the [[movement speed]] bonus for yourself. |
||
− | **However, be aware that {{ai|Twin Fang|Cassiopeia}} only slows by 15% with a {{ii|Rylai's Crystal Scepter}}. This is intentional due to the mechanics having a potential to perma-slow an enemy, according to the developers. |
||
− | **Also, {{ii|Rylai's Crystal Scepter}} plus {{ai|Miasma|Cassiopeia}} adds a very powerful slow to your enemies, giving {{ci|Cassiopeia|Cassiopeia}} more time to chase and land {{Ai|Twin Fang|Cassiopeia}} easily. |
||
− | *{{ii|Void Staff}} works fine on {{ci|Cassiopeia}} if enough enemies have a high amount of magic resistance, as the potential low-cooldown and damage on {{ai|Twin Fang|Cassiopeia}} lets {{ci|Cassiopeia}} be less stringent in choosing targets compared to other mages. |
||
− | *Buy [[spell vamp]] items like {{ii|Will of the Ancients}} to quickly restore health when hitting poisoned targets with {{ai|Twin Fang|Cassiopeia}}. |
||
− | * A {{ii|Catalyst the Protector}} is a perfect early game item for {{ci|Cassiopeia}} allowing her to spam her spells more often with the extra [[mana]] and some [[health]] for survivability. This can then build offensively into an early {{ii|Rod of Ages}} or a more defensive {{ii|Banshee's Veil}}. |
||
− | * Even if she doesn't need the mana, getting a {{ii|Tear of the Goddess}} and then upgrading it into an {{ii|Archangel's Staff}} will greatly increase {{ci|Cassiopeia|Cassiopeia's}} ability power. |
||
− | ** Starting the game with a {{ii|Meki Pendant}} to build {{ii|Tear of the Goddess}} afterwards will make spamming with {{ci|Cassiopeia}} even more affordable. |
||
− | * Avoid building [[cooldown reduction]]. Because {{ai|Noxious Blast|Cassiopeia}}'s damage tick is constant and can only be reapplied, and using {{ai|Twin Fang|Cassiopeia}} on a poisoned enemy reduces the cooldown to 0.5 seconds (which cannot be further reduced by CDR), {{ci|Cassiopeia}} does not gain the significant benefit from CDR as other mages do. |
||
− | ** Therefore, {{ii|Rabadon's Deathcap}} will be the major purchase for when you want more damage as {{ci|Cassiopeia}}. |

− | *If you can predict when {{ci|Cassiopeia}} will use {{ai|Petrifying Gaze|Cassiopeia}} such as at the beginning of a fight or at the end, you can avoid the 2 second stun. |
||
− | **You will hear {{ci|Cassiopeia}} gasp before she activates {{ai|Petrifying Gaze|Cassiopeia}} (.65 casting time), so you have a brief moment to react to {{ci|Cassiopeia}}. |
||
− | *{{Character_icon|Cassiopeia}} is a very powerful harasser. {{ai|Noxious Blast|Casseopeia}} allows her to give her lane opponnent a hard time, but also be wary for {{ai|Miasma|Casseopeia}}, as it can set you up for ganks, make landing {{ai|Noxious Blast|Casseopeia}} or especially {{ai|Twin Fang|Casseopeia}} extremely easy, or zone you from minions very effectively. Buying {{ii|Boots of Speed}} is a good and cheap way to limit her harassment. |
||
− | *{{ci|Cassiopeia}} is extremely proficient at 1v1 fights, having the most sustained damage of all mages. Therefore it is not recommended to engage her alone. Since {{ci|Cassiopeia}} has very high [[ability power]] scalings, she remains a constant threat to AD carries late game, since if she lands her ultimate, she can easily kill an AD carry without resistances within the 2 second stun {{ai|Petrifying Gaze|Casseopeia}} provides her. |
||
− | *Due to {{ai|Noxious Blast|Casseopeia}} and {{ai|Miasma|Casseopeia}}, {{ci|Cassiopeia}} is very powerful at kiting. If she gets {{ii|Rylai's Crystal Scepter}} she will be almost impossible to reach if played correctly; do not engage her with a champion without strong gap closers while also being able to withstand her damage in a 1v1 fight. |
||
− | *Avoiding her {{ai|Noxious Blast|Cassiopeia}} and {{ai|Miasma|Cassiopeia}} is critical for your survival, as they deal heavy DoT, and being poisoned allows {{ci|Cassiopeia}} to spam her {{ai|Twin Fang|Cassiopeia}} on you. |
||
− | **Also, avoid being hit by other champion poisons such as {{cai|Poison Trail|Singed}}, {{cai|Deadly Venom|Twitch}} and {{cai|Toxic Shot|Teemo}}/{{ai|Noxious Trap|Teemo}}, which will also allow {{ci|Cassiopeia}} to spam her {{ai|Twin Fang|Cassiopeia}}. |

Strategy is highly subjective and may become outdated without any notice. Because of this, the League of Legends Wiki has decided to retire strategy pages and would recommend using other platforms (such as YouTube) to find guides. For more information visit this thread.
