How to play it

Press early
Samira is stronger in the first levels — shove and deny farm.
Poke and back off
Use your range: hit, then step back before Kassadin reaches you. Never stand where they can.
Magic resistance
Kassadin deals magic damage — Maw of Malmortius as your 2nd or 3rd item.
Full combo or nothing
Kassadin is squishy — wait for every ability, go in once. No half-combo trades.
Ward the jungle
You out-trade Kassadin; the only danger is their jungler — ward before pressing.

Respect the spike
Kassadin gets far more dangerous with the ultimate — dial back after level 5.

Grouped by why they work — hover or tap an item for its stats

Roam between lanes and pick off isolated squishies — rush Duskblade of Draktharr
Use dashes for poke and escape — never blink without an out
Use heal/shield in trades — win extended duels
