Below are the best pivot compositions that share core units with the optimal Kindred build, allowing for a smooth transition without sacrificing too much board strength.

This Challenger/N.O.V.A./Brawler composition shares 63% of its units with the best Kindred comp, achieving a 50.3% win rate. You'll need to sell Talon, Twisted Fate, Jax from your board and replace them with Briar, Rek'Sai, Bel'Veth. Best executed during Stage 4 when you have economy to find the new pieces.

When to Pivot Your Kindred TFT Comp

Recognizing when to pivot is just as important as knowing what to pivot to. Scout your lobby early and often - if you see 2 or more players building the same Kindred composition, consider transitioning to one of these alternative builds. The best time to pivot is typically during Stage 3-4, before you've fully committed your gold and items to the contested build. Remember that a completed pivot comp with 2-star units will almost always outperform a contested comp stuck at 1-star. Use these Kindred pivot strategies to adapt to your lobby and secure consistent top 4 finishes in TFT Set 17.
