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

  1. Level 2: Dangerous Q+E combination
  2. Tear of the Goddess: Mana issues resolved, increased aggression
  3. Late Game: Superior scaling compared to most champions

Best Counter Picks

  • Seraphine
  • Samira
  • Kog'Maw
  • Lucian
  • Yasuo
  • Varus
  • Caitlyn
  • Karthus

Remember to coordinate with your team, maintain proper spacing, and prioritize early advantages to counter Cassiopeia effectively.
