Wraith Kayle positioning
A starting board for Wraith Kayle. Drag units to adjust it, switch to the anti-assassin layout when the lobby has divers, and copy the Team Planner code into the TFT client.
- Corner Varus on the back line and put K'Sante in front of it.
- Split Varus and Malzahar across the back line so a single area spell can't hit both.
- K'Sante, Udyr, and Aatrox hold the front line — put the tankiest one opposite the enemy carry.
- Against assassins, step your carries up one row and leave Aatrox and Zac in the back corners as bait.

Strategic Tips
Economy
Reach 50 gold, then slow roll at level 5 with only the excess until Kayle and Zac are 3-starred.
Itemization
Build Archangel's Staff, Radiant Guinsoo's Rageblade, and Red Buff on Kayle.
When to pivot
Scout at 2-1 and 3-2: if two or more players hold your core units, or you haven't found any by 3-2, move into one of the comps on the Similar Comps tab instead of forcing Wraith Kayle.
