With the changes in Patch 13.8, the Kai’sa carry composition is still strong. Here’s everything you need to know to play it!
Teamfight Tactics (TFT) patch 13.8 dropped a few days ago, and while all the hacker craziness was toned down, the Kai’sa carry composition remains one of the most formidable in the game. Here’s what you need to know to play it.
Kai’sa carry composition
This is what your level 8 board should look like. If you don’t hit Syndra on level 8, you may play Lux until you hit Syndra. The most important thing is that 6 Star Guardian, 2 Quickdraw, and those units that give you those synergies are core to the composition. Garen gives 2 defenders, but also provides meaningful crowd control for the team. If you have Star Guardian +1 in the form of Star Guardian Heart or Emblem, you can be more flexible with your late game board. You can add extra Aegis in an AP-heavy lobby or you can also add in legendaries such as Urgot, Fiddlesticks, Janna, and Mordekaiser.
Primary tank: Nilah or Rell
Secondary tank: Ekko
Above are the recommended items for each of your units. Prioritize three items on your primary carry in Kai’sa first. Afterwards, look to make items for a primary tank in either Nilah or Rell. Depending on hero augments and copies of Rells, tank items could go on Rell. However, in a traditional setup, your tank items will be going onto Nilah as she will want to be three-starred alongside Kai’sa.
Be sure to start with Tear, Bow, or Rod on the opening carousel.
Recommended augments for the Kai’sa carry composition
There are too many good augments to list for this composition, but be on lookout for all of these. Any way to get a Star Guardian Emblem on to Miss Fortune is the single best boost to your composition’s strength.
Hero augments
Early game
Prioritize two-star units that can carry your damage or tank items that transition well into your mid-game board. Make sure you have a good balance of frontline and backline.
Example level 5 boards:
Mid-game
With this composition, your mid-game board usually resembles your late-game one. It should look like the examples below.
Example level 6 boards:
At level 7, you may fill a missing trait, play a strong unit, or play an extra copy of Rell, Kai’sa, or Nilah. From there, you can decide to either reroll at 7 or push 8, especially if contested, to fit in another unit.
