Quick Answer for Patch 26.20

  1. Marksmage

    Gold

    Your Attacks deal additional physical damage equal to 75% Ability Power.

    Why on Kassadin

    Your attacks already carry Nether Blade (W) magic damage, so Marksmage adds AP-scaling physical damage to every hit and makes autos between spells much stronger.

  2. Jeweled Gauntlet

    Prismatic

    Your Abilities can Critically Strike. Gain Crit Chance.

    Why on Kassadin

    You can cast Riftwalk (R) several times in a row, so every cast gets a chance to crit, which adds burst to your whole spell rotation.

  3. Big Brain

    Gold

    At the start of each round, gain 3 Shield for every 1 Ability Power.

    Why on Kassadin

    Since you stack Ability Power, you start every round with a large shield that helps you Riftwalk (R) into enemies and survive their first burst.
