When you move to off-meta lanes, you have tanky tops with high base health (more damage required) or you have twice as many champions (bottom) to harass down to zone or force back (more damage required). Many people think about Cass mid, and due to lower health pools and less sustain (starts without as many pots, not as much hp sustain in build paths) wouldn't need the additional mana to deal lane-dominating damage - that's fine. When we're talking about off-meta allocations like top and support, you often have to do more harassment damage to opponents to bully them out of lane, compared to what you might need in mid. There's a big difference between harassing with Q somewhat frequently and harassing non-stop - and it can horrendously bully almost every opponent you can face. (you don't need the MP5 runes in 3v3, either, due to increased mana regen on the map!)Įdit: This is a technique for Cass players who are interested in exploring off-meta, not a technique for role (or FOTM) players to add a new champion to their roster - though you could do that too, if you like her enough! I've used this technique to great success with Cass top, mid, support, jungle, 3v3 solo, 3v3 duo and 3v3 jungle. Once you base and pick up any other mana items, you'll have enough regen to keep leveling Q and continue the reign of terror.Īnd then you buy Liandry's and the cycle of life and death continues! This tactic is brutally effective until level 5 (maxing W or E, not Q) when the Q damage starts to fall off. They have to dodge 75+80% damage every 3-5 seconds for the entirety of the early laning phase, and Cass will never run out of mana. This makes Cass' early lane phase absolute terror for her enemies.

Take 4~ MP5 in runes (sacrifice EITHER your armor or MR runes make two pages!)Ĭast Q literally forever without running out of mana (wait until passive is about to drop off before casting)Įvery minion nets you +4 mana (or +24 per wave) that is free to use on other spells Something interesting I explored with Cass a while back:

Inspired by another post, I wanted to post this for more folks to see.
