This is my new favorite deck. My last deck (Kindred + Kalista) made it to Plat II and I wanted to hit diamond. I took an old Lux+Thresh shell from last year and upgraded it and added Kindred. I think this deck has the potential to hit diamond or above, but there is some RNG to it so we'll see.
WHAT IS THIS DECK TRYING TO DO?
The goal is to stall, disrupt, and build strength. It is not uncommon to have a 20/20 kindred or lux because of laurent bladekeeper and redoubled valor. Once Kindred and Lux are online together, they eliminate the enemy board together. It is as fun as it sounds.
WHY KINDRED + LUX?
These two champions synergize well in every way. First, they both want to be in a control shell because they are expensive and require protection. Second, they both win by constricting the enemy board once online. Having two sources that are killing multiple units per turn speeds up this process. Third, their champion spells are highly complementary, since both can either provide protection or manipulate the board state to proc Kindred or Lux's abilities. Finally, since Lux will be creating Final Spark every turn, you can use that to proc kindred for free.
SPECIAL MENTIONS
- Redoubled Valor is best used on Kindred and Unyielding Spirit is slightly better on Lux, but both cards can be used on either champion to strong effect.
- Resolving Vengeance while both Kindred and Lux are on the field results in up to 3 potential kills, since Lux makes Final Spark and Kindred will mark a target.
- Laurent Bladekeeper's effect is especially good when you later use redoubled valor on the same target. This is obviously good to do on champions, but I don't mind it on laurent protege or mageseeker investigator, especially since redoubled valor procs the investigator.
