Cassiopeia is a challenging lane opponent with specific power spikes and vulnerabilities that can be exploited. Here's how to effectively counter her in top lane.

Strong Counter Picks:

• Viktor
• Olaf
• Renekton
• Dr. Mundo
• Fiora
• Sion
• Akali
• Tryndamere
• Irelia
• Kennen

Laning Phase Tips:

• Match her level 2 timing (first wave + one melee minion from second wave) to prevent her powerful Q+E all-in
• Exploit her early mana issues – engage when her mana is low
• Call for jungler assistance when she pushes, as she lacks escape abilities

Team Fight Strategy:

• Maintain spread formation to avoid multi-target ultimates
• Turn away quickly when she attempts to cast ultimate
• Avoid fighting in jungle corridors where her ultimate is most effective
• Fight in open lanes where possible
• Watch for solo ambushes in river areas

Key Power Spikes:

• Level 2: Extremely strong all-in potential with Q+E combo
• Tear of the Goddess: Allows more aggressive play
• Late Game: One of the strongest scaling champions

Remember:

• Close games early if ahead – she outscales most champions
• Never face check alone when she's missing
• Coordinate with team to prevent her from getting picks
• Be extra cautious around objectives and tight spaces

Cassiopeia becomes significantly more dangerous as the game progresses, so punish her early weaknesses and maintain map awareness to prevent her from reaching her full potential.
