CASSIOPEIA ADC HOW TO
It offers zero value to a player who knows how to masterfully manage their mana pool. Manaflow Band is a "beginner trap" and a crutch. Ravenous Hunter's healing does not do much if you are dead before you can cast your abilities. The fact that she has global taunt but is incredibly difficult to take down, means she can soak a ton of pressure in fights and drain enemy resources, opening up opportunities for your team!Ĭassiopeia is already very strong in lane, and as such, does not need Taste of Blood, though it is a "nice to have in some matchups", it does nothing past 10 minutes.Ĭassiopeia struggles most past laning phase, which is when she becomes vulnerable to being bursted and one shot before she can get her damage off. It does not matter if she is immobile, if enemies come to her. If Cassio cannot be bursted, she can counterattack once tanking all enemy damage. Making Cassiopeia more DURABLE is the most important thing she needs, and it covers her weaknesses. Rather than try to amplify her strengths, this build was made to target her weaknesses and cover them - and it does so to great effect. Cassiopeia has "global taunt" and is a prime target in teamfights Cassiopeia is squishy due to low base resistances and lack of HP itemsĤ. Cassiopeia has relatively low range for a ranged championĢ. To understand why Resolve, we must understand Cassiopeia's weaknesses.ġ.

Conditioning/Overgrowth are a vital part of making it work. Resolve secondary is the key to making Cassiopeia and this build truly shine, everything in this build is crafted and optimized with each item and rune working in tandem with one another. Playing her to get an early lead, then transition that lead into objectives, abusing the enemy jungler, forcing 3v3s and the like, pressuring sidelanes post lane, pushing the pace of the game and forcing enemies into objective fights, is how you play this champ. Her ability to 1v2, or 1v3 her opponents, is also difficult to match. Her sidelaning, especially with this build, is unmatched. Cassiopeia is an early game lane bully, duelist, and sidelaner, with strong teamfighting and excellent objective controlĬassiopeia is stronger the closer her enemies are to her, winning almost any 1v1 in the game with ease given proper ability usage.

If Cassiopeia does not play aggressively, taking advantage of how strong she is early game, then she's wasting insane potential and the champion is being played incorrectly.ģ. Cassiopeia is NOT one of these champions. Champions that can accomplish this playstyle are Vladimir, Kassadin, and Kayle. The concept of "play safe and farm for items" simply does NOT exist anymore.


She suffers counters in almost all control mage mirrors due to her lack of wave control, but on the contrary to mages has a very strong early game, strong skirmishing, excellent 1v1s throughout the game and good sidelaning. Cassiopeia does not fall into this category. There are many things about Cassiopeia's identity that need to be discussed up before we proceed.Ĭontrol mages are defined by their ability to control/manage waves and control areas of the map, but generally are weak in 1v1s, weak in early skirmishes, rely heavily on items to get going, and not strong sidelaners/duelists. Know yourself, and you will win all battles.
