This is the simplest and cleanest Coven guide you can find online. Let's dive right in!
Simple Rules
- Coven is NOT like loss traits from previous sets, due to:
- Lower thresholds between each cashout.
- More stacks gained for each kill at 4/5 Coven.
- The number of losses in your streak no longer matters. You don't get punished for accidentally winning.
- Therefore, killing enemies while still losing is important, especially when you have 5 Coven. It often directly determines which level of cashout you get.
- Build around 4 Vanguard after cashout.
- Main carry: Morgana + Brambleback
- Main tank: Sentinel
- 275 stacks is the recommended practical cashout point.
Strategy
Because of these rules, try to get this 5 Coven board after you reach Level 8. Then, decide whether you want to lose a few more rounds or cash out based on your current health.

It's simply 5 Coven + Brambleback and Sentinel + another Riftbeast for the 3 Riftbeast synergy.
Brambleback and Morgana are your core carries.
Then, based on the type of items (AD or AP) you get from the cashout, decide which variation you want to play in the end.
