- Kassadin has multiple item paths; he can go caster via Mana and Ability Power or anti-caster with Cooldown Reduction and Magic Resist.
- Kassadin's ultimate has many uses and is on a shorter cooldown than most, use it often.
- Try to get the Ancient Golem buff to counteract Riftwalk's increasing Mana cost.
- Kassadin deals mostly magic damage. If he's doing well consider buying magic resist items like Mercury's Treads and Banshee's Veil.
- Each time Kassadin consecutively uses Riftwalk, he pays more and more mana. Keep this in mind as you chase him.
- It takes 6 spell casts for Kassadin's slow, Force Pulse, to become castable. If he levels up that ability, judiciously use your own skills while laning against him.

2Chapter 1 : Summoner Spells
You can either choose
or
This is completely your preference, but if you are very indecisive I will give you a situation where you should pick Teleport and a situation where you should take
Ignite.
Let's say that you are in a match up that you have advantage and you are really confident that if you snowball you will be able to win the game; In this kind of situation you should definitely pick Ignite over Teleport, it will help you win the lane and snowball pretty hard.
Now, on the other hand, let's say that you are in a really tough match up and you will be pressured in lane a lot until some point; Well, in that situation you should definitely pick teleport, so that you will be able to be safe in lane and still not lose a lot of experience.
But we'll go to the next topic!
3Chapter 2: Abilities
If you are playing Mid Lane, most likely you will max your Q first, followed by your E and then W.
The reason for this is that Null Sphere



Nether Blade

Now, Force Pulse

Finally, Rift Walk

Now we get to talk about the runes!
4Chapter 3: Runes


Sorcery Tree








Why would you ever use this?







Precision Tree


I definitely encourage you to try out the other ones, tell me if you find anything better. I am just listing what I think is good!
Anyways, let's hop onto the next topic!
5Chapter 4: Combos


Kassadin's bread and butter combo. Try to use this whenever your enemy miss/waste their skills and keep standing on your range.
2. Level 6+ Poke Combo




Basically you use Riftwalk to get closer to your enemy and then rapidly use your combo and leave. Ideally you want your enemy to use one of their abilities so you won't take much damage back but, if you use Rift Walk wisely to out play your enemy as you get closer to them you don't really need to wait out to use this combo.
2. Level 6+ Safe Poke Combo



When you just don't want to put yourself at risk you can just use this; Use your Riftwalk to get closer to your enemies and then rapidly use Null Sphere followed by Force Pulse and leave.
2. Level 6+ Full Damage Quick Combo




When you want to quickly burst down your enemies you can use this combo. Ideally you want to stack your Riftwalk 2 or 3 times to potencialize your damage, so basically you have to hit your Ultimate followed by the whole combo, this will do a huge amount of damage!
This video showcases many combos that you can use, I hope you can learn a lot from it, there you go!
Now, let us talk a bit about itemization
6Chapter 5 : Itemization
In this section I will quickly talk about Kassadin's itemization.

Next up, I will give you some times for playing the stages of the game.
7Chapter 6: Tips and Tricks
In this last chapter, I wil quickly go over some tips and tricks for your games
EARLY GAME
Laning phase is something that many people struggle a lot to learn, there's a lot of different situations that might cause you to lose the lane, but don't you worry, I'll help you with that!
Firstly, Kassadin can trade very well in level 1, but don't go crazy on them. Try to just trade poke for poke, you will normally win due to your magic shield.
When laning versus ranged champions try to hit the melee minions and farm them as fast as you can without taking too much damage and then get back and wait until the lane is shoved towards you.
Be careful not to become cocky in lane pre level 6, this will cost you too much if the enemy decides to punish you. Just calmly poke them with your Q when possible and try to stay safe until level 6.
From level 6 on you can start being a little aggressive, try to wait for your enemy to waste any of their abilities and then go in with you ultimate using either the [color=yellow]Poke Combo[/yellow] or the Safe Poke Combo.
MID GAME
On the Mid Game, I assume you will have your Rod Of Ages, boots and half a Lich Bane ready to go. Here you try to play around your jungler and roam with them. Kassadin is great for small fights so you gotta be constantly looking for them. After winning a fight try to get small objectives like a Dragon, Rift Herald or even a turret.
Also, the mid-game is the perfect opportunity for you to get your Full Combo off on the carries.
In summary, play around your time, try to kill the carries first and always try to get objectives when you successfully win a fight.
LATE GAME
Kassadin's late game is indeed very strong, therefore you should always participate on fights and try not to die. From this point on though, you don't wanna put yourself at a big risk, try to play wisely.
Ideally you have to do as much AoE damage as you can when the fight starts with your E and your Ultimate. However, before it starts you can use the Safe Poke Combo to get the enemies to low health.
As well as many other assassins, if possible you should always flank and kill the AD Carry or any other carries if they are an easy pray, but if they're not, just follow the script and play with your team!
I think that is it for this section, and this concludes the whole guide for now, but don't worry I will go over more details such as match ups and macro play in a near future, so expect more updates!
8Conclusion
As always I want to give a huge shout out to Yamikaze whose guide helped me out a lot to have a better understanding of how you should play not only Talon but many assassins in the game
Once again, thanks for reading and feel free to give me any suggestions to improve this guide.
