Overview of the Marauder Kindred Comp
First, this comp uses Kindred as the main carry. At the same time, it combines several key traits:
- Marauder – gives scaling damage
- Brawler – adds frontline durability
- Challenger – increases attack speed
- N.O.V.A / Dark Lady / Oracle – adds utility and control
Core units include:
- Kindred
- Master Yi
- Morgana
- Tahm Kench
- Fiora
- Bel’Veth
- Urgot
- Maokai
- Gragas
As a result, the comp has both damage and defense. In addition, it fits many lobbies.
When Should You Play This Comp?
You should consider playing Marauder Kindred if:
- First, you get early core items such as:
- Guinsoo’s Rageblade
- Last Whisper
- Giant Slayer / Kraken’s Fury
- Also, early Kindred or Master Yi helps a lot.
- Moreover, good augments make it even stronger.
In other words, the comp becomes much stronger when item conditions are met early.
Best Items for Kindred (Main Carry)
When it comes to items, Kindred requires a very specific setup:
- Guinsoo’s Rageblade
- Last Whisper
- Giant Slayer or Kraken’s Fury
To explain further:
- Guinsoo allows Kindred to scale attack speed over time
- Last Whisper reduces enemy armor
- Meanwhile, Giant Slayer or Kraken improves damage against tanks
However, if you face heavy crowd control, you should replace one item with Quicksilver
Overall, itemization directly determines your late-game strength.
Items for Frontline Tanks
On the other hand, your frontline is just as important as your carry.
The main tank is Tahm Kench, who benefits from:
- Sunfire Cape
- Spirit Visage
- Evenshroud
In addition, you can distribute items as follows:
- Maokai holds secondary tank items
- Urgot provides utility and extra durability
Consequently, a strong frontline allows Kindred to deal damage safely over time
