Main idea

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

Failing to prepare for the phase transition and getting tempo-checked by a second major threat.
Letting the stationary ritual engine survive too long, which gives the fight time to escalate.

Winning line

Decide early whether your team can rush The Coven down before the fight fully escalates.
Preserve mobility and defensive tools for the Tormentor phase.

Win conditions

Decide early whether your team can rush The Coven down before the fight fully escalates. Preserve mobility and defensive tools for the Tormentor phase. Keep enough pressure on The Coven that the ritual fight does not spiral out of control.

Opener

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.

Midfight

Continue pressuring The Coven, but do not collapse your whole team into a fragile formation.
Track whether the fight is reaching its phase-turn and hold key defensive tools if needed.

Finisher

Either finish The Coven before the later phase fully takes over, or enter that phase with full spacing and defensives.
Do not greed for damage if it leaves you unable to survive the next major pattern.

Detailed notes

Positioning, run killers, and loadout reminders.

▾

Run killers

Failing to prepare for the phase transition and getting tempo-checked by a second major threat.
Letting the stationary ritual engine survive too long, which gives the fight time to escalate.
Walking into the later phase with no spacing, cooldowns, or defensive plan.

Positioning rules

Treat the phase transition as lethal and keep escape tiles open.
Do not spend all cooldowns right before the fight's escalation point.
Maintain spacing so a second threat cannot immediately punish your whole formation.
Because The Coven does not move, plan your angles around the ritual core instead of overcommitting into bad board states.

Loadout hints

Reliable burst damage Mobility or reposition tools A defensive plan for phase escalation

Flexible ranged damage Board control Units that can survive messy midfights

Blowing all cooldowns before the later phase begins Overcommitting into a single fragile formation Slow setups that cannot punish a stationary ritual boss
