| Malzahar (2) | Kindred (3) | Senna (2) | Lucian (4) | Anna (4) | yorick (4) | Soraka (3) | Nami (5) |
 Shadows (3) |
At the start of combat and each time they participate in an elimination, Shadow Champions deal 70% increased damage for 5 seconds. |
 Soulmates (2) |
Instead of dying, the first Soulmate unit that dies enters the spirit world. She then becomes untargetable and continues to fight as long as the other Soulmate champion is alive. |
 Summoner (3) |
The life of summoned units and the life of summons are increased by 30%. |
 Light (3) |
When a Light unit dies, other Light units gain 15% attack speed and heal for 25% of their max HP. |
 Mystical (2) |
All allies receive +40 magic resistance. |
The aim of this composition is to make the best use of the combination of Senna et Lucian by giving them their respective synergies (Shadows et Light). Lucian will be the main carry, assisted by Senna, while Kindred will serve the role of secondary carry and the Summoners are there for the frontline.

The objects of Lucian are very simple: if you manage to have a maximum of giant slayers above, he benefits a max. Indeed, Lucian's ultimate allows him to launch a lot of attacks that inflict all effects on impact, which makes this item an excellent DPS boost. Since he sends 10 + 2 times his projectile attack speed every second, and that he keep tapping even when he dies if Senna stays alive, this very offensive choice suits him perfectly.
It can, however, benefit from other items, such as a |
||||
Infinity blade or a 
Rabadon's Headdress for the damage, or else a 
Silence or a 
sword breaker for more control.Senna |
||||
 Morellonomicon |
 Guardian angel |

 +  |

Senna benefits greatly from morellonomicon : She launches her ultimate towards the furthest ally and adds magic damage to the auto attacks of all the allied champions she hits with her laser. Thus, each of these attacks activates the Morellonomicon burn, which works very well with Lucian. L'Guardian angel is there meanwhile to keep her alive longer, allowing time for Lucian of DPS. Also, when revived, she will lose focus from opponents which allows her to temporize further. As a third object, Senna can use a |
||||
Echo of Luden to boost his damage at the start of the game, or why not another object to allow him to tank more, like a 
Gripper trap.Kindred |
||||
 Seraph's Embrace |
 Precious Gauntlet |
 Infinity blade |

Kindred is usually the secondary carry for this team. The advantage is that thanks to the mix of its damage, it can benefit from many different objects. Ideally, theSeraph's Embrace allows him to use his ultimate very often, while the combo of Precious Gauntlet + Infinity blade will allow his spell to do massive damage and give him 65% critical chance. Kindred can also receive a more physical damage focused build, with items like |
||||
Doom Blade, 
Guinsoo's Raging Blade, 
Ouragan de Runaan, 
giant slayer, 
hand of justice... Finally, it can be very interesting to equip one of your frontline champions (usually Yorick) with defensive items to allow him to temporize further. The 
Warmog works fine, but 
dragon claw 
Redemption or 
Gantelet givrant will also do the trick.
Start of the game and progress
Generally, this composition will start with a trio of champions Shadows fairly quickly, with Malzahar et Senna which only costs 2 GP and Sion, Kindred ou Weighs third. It is possible to use a combo of Défenseurs (specifically Thresh + Nautilus for the bonus Ocean) to complement them.
Since you will want to have Kindred quickly, and Lucian will arrive much later, a second Ranger is usually a good transitional unit to hold the giant slayers who will then go to Lucian. Varus works pretty well with it, which will also allow you to add a third Underworld (Annie, Zyra...) in the middle of the game. It is then interesting to quickly add a third Summoner, especially if you found Annie quickly.
You will generally want get to level 7 fairly quickly to start looking Lucian and incorporate it into your combo ofShadows and D'Summoners. Bonuses Light et Mystique will only come later because they are less important to the composition. It will generally be interesting to roll a little at level 7 (up to 20 or 30 gold) to find your units and your upgrades and make your transition, even if it means slowing down level 8.
In fact, only Nami costs 5 gold in this composition, and it can be replaced by Janna if necessary, you are therefore not forced to rush to level 8. It will be more important to find your level 2 or 3 champions.
Endgame and transitions
Since this composition relies on relatively inexpensive units (Senna, Kindred, Malzahar), it may be interesting to raise them to level 3, in particular for the first two. Lucian is also excellent at level 3, but much more difficult to obtain since it costs 4 gold.
The endgame is very free with this composition. Yes Kindred serves as a secondary carry, it can be replaced by Sion ou Master Yi if you need more frontline, the latter also giving the mystical bonus and therefore releasing a unit. Annie is also not necessary, although it is usually the best Summoner with Yorick at this stage.
If you got a 
Spatula, you have two choices: first, it is possible to pivot on a composition 6 Lights + 3 Shadows by giving a 
Talisman of Light à Kindred and make it the main carry. The other possibility is to replace Annie by Zed and to also give him the Talisman of Light: each clone of Zed who dies will heal other units, which makes him very strong if he is level 2.
If you can't find any items specifically for Lucian but you do get your hands on a Master Yi level 2, it is possible to leave on a composition 6 shadows replacing Lucian, Soraka et Nami by Weighs, Sion and Master Yi. You will keep your three Summoners as a bonus, and can bring Nami back to level 9.
Speaking of level 9, several options are interesting in this composition. If your Kindred has objects, add a Varus for bonuses Prowler et Underworld is interesting. If you had the Talisman of Light, it is also possible to remove the Mystics (Soraka et Nami) and instead add Zed en Light, Zyra et Azir at level 9 to have 6 Summoners et 3 Hells.
Positioning Tips
If you tell yourself that Lucian must die instantly with this positioning, you are absolutely right. The thing is, it doesn't matter that he dies, as long as Senna stay alive with the bonus Soulmates. That's why it's interesting that the two are very far apart, so that one doesn't die at the same time as the other due to area damage.
In addition, Senna targets the furthest ally with his ultimate. In this position, she will always aim Lucian, which will allow him to hit the majority of his allies with his laser to grant them the damage bonus. It is also well protected against Assassins since it is stuck in the corner and is not likely to move thanks to its range of 4 squares. If the Assassins really manage to kill Senna too quickly, it is also possible to put her in the middle on the last line, with Soraka et Nami in the corners that will serve as bait.
Yorick et Annie will serve as the frontline, although the former is usually the more tanky of the two. If it has tank items, you better put it in front of Annie so she doesn't die before using her ultimate.
Finally, if you get killed by area damage (Lightning composition, Olaf, Brand...), it may be interesting to further separate your units on the board to make them less vulnerable.
This positioning can be modified according to the Elementary boxes. This composition works best on Hell cards, because Lucian et Kindred benefit a lot from the extra mid-game attack speed. It also benefits from ocean spaces, if this allows Senna ou Malzahar ultimate instantly.
