Assume the fight gets significantly harder once Tormentor enters and plan cooldowns around that breakpoint. Pressure The Coven early while keeping formation stable and flexible.

Biggest mistakes
  • β€’Failing to prepare for the phase transition and getting tempo-checked by a second major threat.
  • β€’Letting the stationary ritual engine survive too long, which gives the fight time to escalate.
  • β€’Walking into the later phase with no spacing, cooldowns, or defensive plan.
How you actually win
  • β€’Decide early whether your team can rush The Coven down before the fight fully escalates.
  • β€’Preserve mobility and defensive tools for the Tormentor phase.
  • β€’Keep enough pressure on The Coven that the ritual fight does not spiral out of control.

  • β€’Do not spend all cooldowns right before the fight's escalation point.
  • β€’Maintain spacing so a second threat cannot immediately punish your whole formation.
  • β€’Because The Coven does not move, plan your angles around the ritual core instead of overcommitting into bad board states.
Tempo plan
Opener (rounds 1–2)
  • β€’Assume the fight gets significantly harder once Tormentor enters and plan cooldowns around that breakpoint.
  • β€’Pressure The Coven early while keeping formation stable and flexible.
Midfight (stabilize)
  • β€’Continue pressuring The Coven, but do not collapse your whole team into a fragile formation.
  • β€’Track whether the fight is reaching its phase-turn and hold key defensive tools if needed.
Finisher (close safely)
  • β€’Either finish The Coven before the later phase fully takes over, or enter that phase with full spacing and defensives.
  • β€’Do not greed for damage if it leaves you unable to survive the next major pattern.
