The Demon/Knight/Guardian composition has been the trend since patch 9.17. Benefiting from Evelynn's incredible power in main carry, and protecting her as much as possible, she wreaks havoc in Challenger on all servers.

Evelyn is one of the best units in the game in 9.17, and this composition allows it to be sublimated by giving it all the protection it needs. The knights, in addition to guardians, allow him to be very hard to kill and wreak havoc.
If a single DPS isn't necessarily enough, Brand is also there to assist her thanks to her ultimate which inflicts significant area damage, allowing Evelynn to go and execute all low HP targets afterwards.
Preferred items
Pistolame hextech | Guardian angel | dragon's claw | morellonomicon |
Evelyn is the main carry of the team and needs two items in particular to be unstoppable: the Pistolame Hextech to heal herself tremendously when executing someone with her ultimate, and the Dragon's Claw to be immune to magic damage. L'Guardian angel is a significant bonus if ever she were to die quickly, to give her a second chance.
L'Guardian angel can be taken twice in order to give another to Sejuani to ensure she uses her ultimate. the morellonomicon is when to him ideal on Brand who can apply it to a lot of targets, burning them and preventing them from healing.
In order to use his ultimate multiple times, Brand can also be fitted with a Lance de Shojin and attack speed, like a Ultra-fast cannon or a Guinsoo's Raging Blade. These objects can also work on Kayle for her to use her ultimate repeatedly.
Start of the game and progress
The beginning of the game of this composition is quite obvious: the goal is to obtain the 4 knights quickly. This is a fairly easy objective, since Thread, Mordekaiser et Darius only cost 1 gold, and poppy only 3. They will gradually be replaced by better units, like Sejuani et Kayle . Thread can wear a morellonomicon at the beginning of the game in order to make your team more powerful, since it will be sold afterwards to bequeath it to Brand.
Then, it will be necessary to quickly obtain a Evelyn (if possible level 2) to couple with another Demon (Varus, Elise, Morgana, Aatrox...). It is possible to remove one or two knights in order to have this duo which will be the main source of damage in the middle of the game.
Finally, it is at the end of the game that will be added Brew et Pantheon ( Leona if you can't find the latter) for the bonus guardian. It is possible to add them earlier in the game, temporarily replacing two knights if there is a lot of physical damage in your game.
Positioning and options at the end of the game
This positioning allows you to boost a maximum of units with both guardians, and especially Evelyn. It is possible to rule out Brand of the latter to further protect it from Assassins or to avoid Hextechs opponents, in which case he will often go to the right or left of the two Guardians.
Many units are interchangeable in this composition. The 4 knights can be any, although Sejuani et poppy are strongly recommended, and the second Demon to help Evelyn may very well be another choice (like Aatrox ou Swain for example).
If you find you are lacking in damage, it is possible to play a variation of this composition with 4 Demons and 2 Knights. Your demons will then be able to use their spells very quickly, but will nevertheless be more fragile.
If there was a unit to try to get in 3 stars in this composition, it is of course Evelyn which is the main carry. If you manage to get your hands on a Yarn level 3 with a sacred clothe morellonomicon however, it may be worth keeping it.
