Void Stone
(Innate): Kassadin takes 15% reduced magic damage after magic resistance reductions have been applied. Kassadin converts each point of this ignored damage into 1% bonus attack speed for 4 seconds. This bonus attack speed stacks indefinitely, with the duration refreshing each time Kassadin takes magic damage.
Tips :Magic damage reduction and attack speed
The passive that contributes to making Kassadin so strong against the mages
The 15% magic damage reduction is very interesting, it also converts damage absorbed into attack speed, making Kassadin more powerful with in auto-attack with his W after level 6.

If you start to dominate your opponent you can happily recover some mana from the sbires and hit your opponent even harder!Don't forget however that you are in melee to for farming so watch out for an enemy harass.
During an attack the mana regeneration is tripled when Kassadin attacks a champion!

Tips :
Kassadin releases a wave in the targeted cone.Some damage and a zone slow
Escape!
A spell that allows you to push once Kassadin is at a high enough level.Use Force Pulse to slow your enemy and chase him more easily. We usually use it after the ultimate + Q to surprise your opponent and leave him little chances. Check you stack counter before throwing yourself into the fight and don't forget that your abilities count as well.
The slow will also let you get out of many situations.
Be careful not to cast your spell the wrong way after the ultimate.

Tips :
Kassadin teleports in the targeted zone.The multi purpose ultimat that gives Kassadin all of his mobility
You can't escape Kassadin!
Riftwalk lets you move freely from level 6. The higher your level the more your cooldown decreases.
Be careful when casting your ultimates, these consume more mana, but deal more damage. But you do not have unlimited mana, it is often better to wait for the end of the ultimate's debuff above the spell bar to use it again.
Use it to more quickly on the other lanes to make more kills. If you have a blue, you can stack the ultimate to benefit from the damage bonus, but it is risky!
This ultimate will help you avoid wards, go through walls etc...

Riftwalk (R)
(Active): Kassadin fires an ethereal bolt of void energy to a single target, dealing magic damage and silencing the target for a few seconds.
Tips :
Kassadin throws a bolt at his opponent.Kassadin's silence for harassing.
The spell that will enrage your opponents: SILENCE, I KILL YOU!
Be careful, it is important to manage your silence well in the lane phase, basically don't use it to farm in the early unless you don't have a choice or if your opponent misses!!! If you start doing your spells on your minions you will lose your lane. This is just useful if you have some mana and you will back soon, but otherwise you must REALLY avoid it, otherwise you will not dominate over your opponent. You are a melee so it will be your only harass before level 6!This is the spell you max, spam the spell in the odd number levels when the spell has just been upgraded and use the even number levels to recover mana! You will use your mana better this way. Careful, avoid being full of mana even if you are at an even number level, cast a spell or you will lose your natural regeneration + the Z's passive. You must make the most of your mana to dominate over your opponent.
The bolt silences on impact, you should also know that an enemy can't flash during the silence, nor cast a spell, however he can use the other summoner's spells like ghost or ignite during a silence!
The silencing bolt has a movement speed, an interesting technique once you are at level 6. Use your ultimate to quickly advance on your opponent and cast the silence in melee, the silence will take effect faster and will prevent your target from flashing.
This spell has an incantation time, and can cancel channeled spells. For example, you send your ball at a Malzahar who decides to use his ultimate while your bolt is moving, he will be interrupted almost immediately. You can then hit him hard using this.
Once you are at level 6, this spell will prevent your target from escaping, when combined with the rest of your burst this really hurts! In general the idea is to cast your silence at your opponent as soon as possible and once you have your cooldown. When your opponent is sufficiently low in health for you to kill him, finish him off!
Cost: 70 / 80 / 90 / 100 / 110 mana
Magic Damage: 80 / 130 / 180 / 230 / 280 (+0.7 per ability power)
Silence Duration: 1 / 1.4 / 1.8 / 2.2 / 2.6 second(s)
