Demon – Statikk Shiv (both regular and Dark versions)
It can be said that to successfully operate a Demon composition, Statikk Shiv is an essential item. Besides providing energy for the champion wielding it, the ability to reduce magic resistance on backline units from Statikk Shiv proves to be highly suitable for Demon units. The reason is that units like Poppy and Kennen often cast their skills on the opponent’s backline units. They will have the chance to eliminate the enemy team’s carry when that target has its magic resistance reduced beforehand by Statikk Shiv.
For this reason, the Demon composition greatly needs Statikk Shiv to increase the output damage. Otherwise, players may easily find themselves lacking damage in the early game, even if they can upgrade core units early. This situation becomes more likely if many opponents use “tanky” units like Brawlers or Knights, and you cannot eliminate the enemy team’s damage source. Therefore, if you want to play a Demon team, you must have Statikk Shiv (both regular and Dark versions).
Thresh – Syndra
Although they do not share a tribe – system relationship, the skills of Thresh and Syndra can combine extremely well to quickly take down the enemy’s carry. With Syndra, this champion throws the nearest opponent to the farthest position on the battlefield when using her skill. Meanwhile, Thresh also casts his Death Sentence on the farthest enemy unit. When these two skills are unleashed sequentially, the enemy’s backline carry will be destroyed very quickly by their relatively high base damage.
You can use this combo to immediately add a significant amount of damage to the team when there are not many strong carry units available. Teamfight Tactics players can apply a 4 Knight – 3 Celestial team at level 6 to effectively maintain HP while playing around the Thresh – Syndra combo. Additionally, you need to place Thresh and Syndra on the same side of the battlefield for their skills to combine most effectively.
Warwick – Assassin
One of the biggest weaknesses of the Assassin composition is its lack of strong defense, making it easy to lose in the early game. The advice is to address this issue with Brawler units, especially Warwick. Essentially, with Warwick in the lineup, players can easily wipe out the opponent’s backline. Moreover, Warwick’s ability to continuously use his skills makes him extremely “tank” in the early game.
The key here is to leverage the high damage potential from Assassins so that Warwick can use his skills to finish off the opponent’s backline. We need to remember that Warwick prioritizes using his skill on the lowest health target, so the fragile units in the backline attacked by Assassins will be the targets for him to attack. You should apply this combo if you plan to play the Assassin composition to secure a winning streak, level up early, and quickly upgrade your carries.
