So I started playing cassiopeia again and i build archangel's and roa my first two items. Should I just take tear and then start going for roa and then buy archangel's after, or should I get the faster stacking of archangel's before getting roa? Tear is 4 mana per use, Archangel's is 8 mana per use
TakaDama1 votesI dont play Cass, but I have used this core in ARAM for various champions and I highly recommend building tear, then building RoA, then building Staff. The active for Seraph's is kinda unexciting and, with shield breaking back in the game, a bit of a risk. Not to mention that RoA provides 300 mana right away and an additional 100 mana once fully charged, which will provide more AP for Staff once it is built on top of HP and the eternity passive.
However, doing this means you pass up on a key early item for mages; Lost Chapter, and that is something to consider imo.

The thigh guy1 votesYeah I generally grab tear then roa. But in super hard matchups I’ll stab catalyst then tear.
Zero Shingetsu1 votesFor anyone as mana-heavy as Cass, if I'm building both, I pretty much always start Tear, then go ROA, then finish Archangel.
