What changes when Cassiopeia is opposite you?

Pre-battle kit comparison

Arrr, strategic interaction

Threaten th' back aboard line

Untargetability and burst create pressure agin' a mage relying on predictable skill windows.

Mid battle

Th' clearest window be 'round first aboard completed gear, roams and isolated targets afore every fight becomes fully grouped.

Yer course

Use th' course ye prepared

Treat Vex as one part o' th' sea chart state. Their Jungler, nigh th' ship waves and which teammates can move determine whether th' same trade or rotation be seaworthy.

Trick reminders

Fizz reminders

Since Fizz can move through units, seek opportunities in course to walk through minions and apply Seastone Trident's passive - following it up wit' th' trick's active attack after a few seconds.
Fizz's ultimate trick, Chum the Waters, can be aimed at an foe or towards th' area where ye think they'll be going.
Fizz's spells scale off Trick Power - consider getting gear like Zhonya's Hourglass or Banshee's Veil agin' teams that have high burst threat - and gear like Lich Bane or Rabadon's Deathcap if ye think ye can survive without th' Hull.

Trick reminders

Against Cassiopeia

Be wary o' Cassiopeia's damage potential wit' Twin Fang when she has ye poisoned.
Turn astern from Cassiopeia when she be casting Petrifying Gaze to get slowed instead o' stunned.

Arrr, static alternatives

Compare th' problem afore changing th' course

These choices be nay picked from live scores. Use one only after ye identify th' stated clash problem yourself.

Arrr, too much healing

Chempunk Chainsword

Chempunk Chainsword adds anti-heal without abandoning attack damage and hull.

Arrr, physical burst

Death's Dance

Death's Dance delays physical damage so takedowns can stabilise th' fight.

Arrr, sustained magic damage

Kaenic Rookern

Kaenic Rookern be a defensive captain's answer when repeated magic damage be th' real problem.

Arrr, Only when enemy healing is deciding fights

Oblivion Orb

Arrr, Oblivion Orb supplies healing reduction without committing to a completed Morellonomicon. Skip both when healing is not the problem or an ally already covers your target reliably. Healing reduction does not reduce shields.

Arrr, Conditional component, not a core item. Complete Morellonomicon only when its stats and slot efficiency justify delaying another purchase.

Adapt th' course

What to do when th' battle changes

Judge th' whole course or sea chart state, nay only personal kills. Pick th' situation closest to th' present battle.

Even course

Manage th' wave and keep both sides o' th' sea chart visible

Course

Trade when yer key trick and minion position favour ye; an even course does nay require a forced solo kill.

Sea chart play

Move on a completed wave and return afore several waves be lost to th' tower.

Fights

Position fer th' champion's reliable damage or control instead o' beginning wit' th' lowest-percentage spell.

Pings, movement and prizes

Fizz Mid sea chart course

Mid can reach either side, but th' wave pays fer every move. Communicate th' foe first aboard, then move only when th' course and destination be credible.

Ahead

Use priority to arrive first aboard, nay recklessly

Ping: Ping Foe Lost overboard when th' foe leaves, On Me Way afore entering river and Peril on th' course th' foe may use.
Arrr, stay or roam: Roam after clearing th' wave and choose th' side where crewmates can participate. Return afore several waves be lost.
Prize: Reach river wit' th' Jungler, control one entrance and preserve th' spell that stops an foe engage or secures th' first aboard target.

Even

Turn one managed wave into sea chart pressure

Ping: Use Foe Lost overboard immediately, then On Me Way only when ye be genuinely moving rather than considering it.
Arrr, stay or roam: Move after th' wave be handled. If following requires entering fog alone, ping Peril and take th' seaworthy course instead.
Prize: Lend a hand establish river vision afore th' set sail. Do nay burn th' only control spell on poke if it be needed to protect th' entrance.

Behind

Clear th' deck safely and warn both side lanes

Ping: Ping Foe Lost overboard early and repeat Peril on th' threatened side. Use Retreat if matching th' roam would expose ye to another kill.
Arrr, stay or roam: Arrr, follow through established vision or remain Mid and recover farm. A late blind follow often loses both positions.
Prize: Approach astern o' th' front line and use reliable control or range. Trade th' prize if th' crew cannae safely enter river.

Prize setup

Arrr, four calls, in order

Pings create a shared course; they do nay replace checking waves, vision and who can move.

1
Handle th' wave
Push, catch or communicate th' wave afore leaving so th' foe does nay gain a free move and free income.
2
Signal th' course
Use On Me Way fer th' course ye be actually taking and Peril where an unseen foe may arrive.
3
Arrr, enter together
Move through controlled vision wit' th' Jungler or another ally instead o' face-checking th' prize alone.
4
Pick th' job
Decide whether ye be engaging, front-lining, flanking or protecting a carry afore th' fight begins.

Later prizes: Repeat th' same process 'round later major prizes: handle nigh th' ship income, communicate th' course, enter through vision and agree on th' fight afore committing.

Arrr, keep preparing

Use th' champion chart or choose another foe

Th' matchup chart be a pre-battle reference. It does nay predict th' result or alter its recommendation from changing live clash data.
