Cassiopeia Counter Guide: Best Picks and Strategy
Cassiopeia Counter Guide
Cassiopeia's key counters include Seraphine, Samira, Kog'Maw, and Lucian, followed by Yasuo, Varus, Caitlyn, and Karthus.
Early Game Strategy
- Watch for her powerful level 2 all-in with Q and E spam
- Match her level 2 timing (first wave + one melee minion from second wave)
- Exploit her early mana issues - engage when she's low on mana
- Let her push and request jungler assistance, as she lacks escape abilities
Team Fight Tactics
- Space out to avoid multi-target ultimates
- Turn away when she's likely to cast her Ultimate (R)
- Avoid fighting in jungle corridors where her ultimate is most effective
- Prefer open lane fights where teams can spread out
Key Warnings
- Don't traverse the river alone - she excels at ambushing isolated targets
- Stay vigilant when she obtains Tear of the Goddess - her aggression increases
- Consider her late-game scaling - try to end games early if ahead
- Be especially careful at level 2 - her Q+E combo is lethal
Power Spikes
- Level 2: Dangerous Q+E combination
- Tear of the Goddess: Mana issues resolved, increased aggression
- Late Game: Superior scaling compared to most champions
