Teamfight Tactics patch 9.24 adds 3 new champions (Lucian, Senna et amumu) as well as the new class Soulmates which allows either Senna or Lucian to continue attacking even when dead while the other is still alive. We've been testing different comps to fit these new champions into so you can try them out from day one.

The Light / Shadows / Soulmates composition
Vayne (1) | Senna (2) | Aatrox (3) | Soraka (3) | Kindred (3) | Lucian (4) | yorick (4) | Master Yi (5) |
Light (6) (With ) |
When a Light unit dies, other Light units gain +25% attack speed and restore 25% of the dead unit's max HP. |
Shadows (3) |
Shadow units deal 70% more damage for 5 seconds at the start of combat and when they kill a unit or participate in elimination. |
Soulmates (2) |
Instead of dying, the first Soulmate unit that dies enters the spirit world. It then becomes untargetable and continues to fight as long as the other Soul Mate unit is alive. |
Prowler (2) |
Rangers have an 35% chance of doubling their attack speed every 3 seconds. |
Mystical (2) |
All allies have +40 magic resistance. |
Blademaster (2) |
When a Blademaster attacks, it has a 40% chance to inflict an additional attack. |
This composition is a new version of the 6 Lights composition, but does not require hyper roll since it relies more on Kindred et Lucian for carry than on Vayne level 3. However, it requires a Spatula for the Talisman of Light to be optimal.
Preferred items
Talisman of Light | Seraph's Embrace | Guinsoo's Raging Blade | Guardian angel |
Kindred will usually be the carry of the team, and will be equipped with the Talisman of Light to benefit from this additional class. It works very well with theSeraph's Embrace to use his ultimate often, and hand of justice for example in third object.
For Soulmates, Lucian works well with attack speed, hence the Guinsoo's Raging Blade, and effects on impact, such as the giant slayer. a Guardian angel on the fact Senna will allow Lucian to attack longer, because if he dies and she is targeted, he will remain a ghost until she comes back alive with the Guardian Angel.
Game start and other options
Unlike the Standard light composition, which seeks to obtain Nasus, Jax et Vayne level 3, this version seeks more to level up quickly to find Lucian et Yorick and get the 6 Lights. Vayne can be equipped with Lucian's items at first, before being sold and replaced by another.
If you don't get Spatula, it will generally be necessary to abandon the 3 Shadows in favor of 6 Lights (by adding Nasus ou Jax), or else try to pass 9 level to benefit from all the synergies.
The Shadows / Soulmates / Mystic composition
Malzahar (2) | Senna (2) | Kindred (3) | Zion (3) | Roads (3) | Master Yi (5) | Lucian (4) | Nami (5) |
Shadows (6) |
Shadow units deal 140% more damage for 5 seconds at the start of combat and when one of them participates in an elimination. |
Soulmates (2) |
Instead of dying, the first Soulmate unit that dies enters the spirit world. It then becomes untargetable and continues to fight as long as the other Soul Mate unit is alive. |
Mystical (2) |
All allies have +40 magic resistance. |
Since patch 9.24, it is now possible to use 6 Shadows. As usual in this type of composition, Kindred remains the main carry and will try to get to level 3. Soulmates et Mystique are there in support of the Shadow champions.
Preferred items
hand of justice | Seraph's Embrace | Rabadon's Headdress | morellonomicon |
Once is not custom, Kindred is still the main carry of this team. It works very well with Seraph's Embrace et hand of justice to use his ultimate often and increase his damage/healing, and the Rabadon's Headdress allows him to kill his opponents very quickly with his spell.
If Kindred offers anti-care, a morellonomicon on the fact Malzahar will also be useful, with for example a Lance de Shojin so that he summons many creatures. Finally, Sion can be equipped with various defensive items ( dragon claw, Gantelet givrant, Warmog, living armor...)
Game start and other options
This composition will normally start with 3 champions Shadows (Senna, Malzahar et Kindred) that will be quite strong in the mid game. Varus can be used in combination with Kindred and another Underworld for this synergy as well as Prowler. You will generally want to level up fast enough to find Master Yi quickly and unlock all 6 Shadows.
The bonus Mystique is not necessary but it is interesting if you face magic damage, thanks to Nami, or Janna ou Soraka. If you ever can't find Master Yi, you can keep 3 champions Shadows and add other synergies (Prowler, Summoner, Underworld...) in place.
The Underworld/Summoner/Defender composition
Office (1) | Varus (2) | Kindred (3) | Anna (4) | Fire (4) | Amumu (5) | yorick (4) | Taric (5) |
Hells (6) |
Spells and critical hits from Underworld champions burn the ground 3 squares and deal 120% spell damage as magic damage over 4 seconds. |
Summoner (3) |
Max HP and duration of summons are increased by 30%. |
Defender (2) |
Defenders have +150% armor. |
Prowler (2) |
Rangers have an 35% chance of doubling their attack speed every 3 seconds. |
With the redesign of the origin Underworld, which now affects several squares, and the arrival ofamumu which offers a real frontline, this composition is ultimately effective. The main carry will generally be BrandMore Varus ou Zyra (if they are level 3) will also do the trick.
Preferred items
Precious Gauntlet | morellonomicon | Guinsoo's Raging Blade | Lance de Shojin |
Similar to composition Mage / Ocean, Brand benefits greatly from items that increase his magic damage: Precious Gauntlet et morellonomicon on your mind. The Precious Gauntlet is better than the Discount in this composition, since the critical hits of Underworld also apply a burn. The Guinsoo's Raging Blade will also allow him to attack more often.
Mana generation is more important for champions Underworld that for Magi, since they do not have the bonus Ocean. So the Lance de Shojin et l'Seraph's Embrace are rather important. Finally, a Guardian angel can be effective on amumu ou taric to ensure they use their ultimate (especially if they are level 1).
Game start and other options
It is very easy to find 3 champions Underworld at the start of the game, with in particular Zyra, Diana et Varus. To get the 6, it is done quite quickly too since you will be able to use Qiyana (on a Hell card) for example the time to find amumu. Another option is to stay on 3 and add Défenseurs in frontline until the final composition.
If at the end of the game, Taric is not needed, he is the best defender to add: his ultimate allows him to temporize for a long time, which makes the burn damage over time of the Underworld much better. Otherwise, Malphite also does the trick. Yorick isn't mandatory either, but his ultimate also buys time for Brand and Zyra to do their damage.
Not all of these comps are necessarily the best in the patch, but they should all be pretty effective and get you up to speed with the 3 new champions. Lucian in particular seems rather strong in main carry in the composition Light.
