Why Arcane Comet
Cassiopeia is able to rapidly proc Arcane Comet thanks to her rapid fire damage from [Q] and [E].
Why Manaflow Band
Manaflow Band synergizes well with Tear allowing you to use your abilities more liberally in the early game for trades.
Why Transcendence
The extra bit of CDR in the mid-game from Transcendence allows you to itemize into Magic Pen and raw AP for more damage.
Why Gathering Storm
Gathering Storm's scaling AP makes you an insane threat heading into the mid to late game.
WhyTaste of Blood
Taste of Blood's lane sustain, when paired with the sustain of Cassiopeia's [E], allows you to trade pretty agressively without losing too much health.
WhyTreasure Hunter
Cassiopeia has massive ramping damage from [E] spam allows you to heal for a massive amount in an extended right/trade.
