As we know, in Teamfight Tactics version 11.16, Riot Games revamped the Legion system by adding full lifesteal stats. Although this adjustment is not enough for the Legion composition to break into the top of the meta, it has significantly increased the value of the 2 champions in this system. In fact, according to an article from Sohu.com, the composition centered around the “Duo of Death” Kayle – Draven is being evaluated as relatively strong by Chinese experts.
Essentially, the presence of Kayle and Draven in the composition will activate the 2 Legion effect and provide these two units with additional healing capabilities. Therefore, players can equip all damage-dealing items to Draven without worrying about this unit lacking durability in fights. Furthermore, Kayle with the area damage effect in her fourth ascension will remedy Draven’s weakness of being able to only target a single enemy.
Of course, to possess these powerful carries, you need to have a good enough start to maintain health and accumulate enough gold. The advice here is to aim for Knight or Warrior units at the beginning to ensure that the composition has enough sturdiness. Additionally, you should also purchase a cheap yet quality carry in the later stages like Kalista or Vayne to hold items for both Draven and Kayle.
Moving into the mid-game, if you build the composition based on the Knight system, try to reach the 4 champion threshold as soon as possible. In the later stages, players can use Vayne – Varus to activate the Archer effect or Kalista – Irelia with the Legion effect. If you build the composition based on Warriors, Nidalee is an important unit to deal damage in the mid-game.
As you enter the late game, you should roll a bit at level 8 to upgrade Draven to 2 stars and look for Kayle. If you cannot upgrade Kayle to 2 stars, you should opt to hold gold and push to level 9. With a 2-star Draven and a Kayle equipped with Guinsoo’s Rageblade, your composition will basically have enough damage. This duo can carry the composition well until you reach level 9 to upgrade Kayle to 2 stars, completing the 6 Knights threshold.
As for the “core item,” Guinsoo’s Rageblade is an item you should assemble immediately as it helps both Draven and Kayle deal significantly more damage. For Draven, items like Infinity Edge and Giant Slayer are still good choices that players should build. For Kayle, the Hand of Justice (both regular and Light versions) is an extremely strong item you should possess. Additionally, the Thief’s Claw (both regular and Light versions) is also a decent choice to protect these 2 units.
