RellS+ Tier ComboCentered on Tank Engine + Cruelty. Rell's hex pool is extra clean, and combining them gives extreme CC + huge sustained damage for 1v5 plays. With both hexes, Rell becomes a different champion.
CassiopeiaS Tier ComboCass W ground triggers Cruelty over a large sustained area — even enemies who walk in late retrigger it. R petrify enables huge burst. W+R combo dumps multiple Cruelty procs for cleanup.
GalioS Tier ComboUse W, E, and R's CC for full damage. With Cruelty, build mage damage amps — Void Rift combo is insane.
HweiS Tier ComboEvery Hwei E procs Cruelty — EE especially pulls enemies into one spot. Since Cruelty is AoE, grouped enemies eat stacked Comet damage. After EE pulls them in, the more bodies, the more terrifying the damage.
LeonaS Tier ComboLeona QER are all CC — high frequency Cruelty procs.
MilioS Tier ComboUse Q for huge damage. Standard AP build, no heavy hex reliance; with Cruelty, build Stormsurge first.
NamiS Tier ComboQ and R both proc Cruelty multiple times with their AoE.
NeekoS Tier ComboUlt lifts enemies up for a guaranteed Cruelty proc.
Q pulls enemies out of Cruelty's area. Bad synergy.
