Dark Ritual Reroll

General Information Dark Ritual Elise and Cassiopeia is a 2-Cost Reroll composition built around Elise 3-star as the main frontline carry and Cassiopeia 3-star as your main AP damage dealer. The Dark Ritual augment converts your Coven cashout rewards into Ability Power instead of loot, allowing your Coven units to become extremely powerful as you stack AP. Since Dark Ritual was nerfed in Patch 18.4, this composition is more conditional than before, so ideally you want an early Coven opener and good items to make it work. Early Game Start with Coven as early as possible to begin gathering Essence. Your main goal is to build toward a strong cashout while preserving enough HP to survive the mid game. Don't force a loss streak just to stack more Essence, as winning rounds and maintaining your HP is often more valuable. Ideally, aim for a 250+ cashout if your board and HP allow it. With Dark Ritual, the cashout grants AP instead of rewards, significantly increasing your units' power. You can also take a smaller cashout if you need to stabilize, but avoid sacrificing too much HP for extra stacks. Mid Game At Level 6, roll for Elise 2-star, additional Coven units and a strong frontline. Your main goal is to stabilize while finding copies of Elise and Cassiopeia. Once you have enough copies, continue slow rolling for their 3-star upgrades. Elise benefits enormously from the AP provided by Dark Ritual. With enough Ability Power, she can sustain herself through fights by healing with her attacks, making her both a damage threat and a durable frontline carry. Avoid positioning her as the only frontline unit, however, because heavy crowd control or focused damage can still take her down. Itemization Elise: Titan's Resolve + Guinsoo's Rageblade + Gargoyle Titan's Resolve is especially strong because Elise can become extremely difficult to kill when combined with the AP from Dark Ritual. Guinsoo's Rageblade provides additional scaling, while Edge of Night helps her survive dangerous fights. You can also replace Guinsoo's with another defensive item if your frontline needs more durability. Cassiopeia: Spear of Shojin + Archangel's Staff + Hextech Gunblade Cassiopeia is your main source of consistent AP damage. Prioritize mana generation and scaling AP items, while Gunblade provides additional sustain for your team. Blighting Jewel is also an excellent option when available. Morgana: Use remaining AP and utility items on Morgana. If you find multiple copies, playing two 2-star Morganas with items on both can significantly increase your late-game damage and help cap your board. Late Game After hitting Elise 3-star and ideally Cassiopeia 3-star, start leveling to strengthen your board. Add more Vanguards to improve your frontline or Lunar units to gain additional utility and trait value. Coven Lux is an especially valuable addition if you find her. Her passive and ability benefit your Coven units, and the additional AP from Dark Ritual makes her a powerful damage dealer. If you have enough resources, prioritize reaching a stronger late-game board rather than continuing to roll after your main upgrades are complete. Positioning Tips Avoid putting Elise alone in the frontline during Stage 5 and later. Ideally, split the enemy team's aggro across multiple units so Elise can continue attacking and healing without being burst down immediately. Keep Cassiopeia and Morgana safely positioned in the backline, allowing them to deal damage while your frontline buys time. Key Strategy Early Coven opener → stack Essence → aim for a strong cashout → Level 6 reroll → Elise 3-star + Cassiopeia 3-star → add Vanguards and Lunar units → level up and cap your board with Morgana or Coven Lux.
