Top 3 carries to utilize in patch 13.16 meta TFT
Kalista
Kalista emerges as one of the most powerful transitions after patch 13.16 arrived with the Nightbringer composition. Currently, this composition boasts a 57% top 4 rate with a 3-star Kalista carry. In terms of damage output, Kalista stands strong against 4-cost units, especially with her finishing abilities. She's considered one of the carries that can easily execute strategies in the 13.16 meta of TFT season 9.
For items, Guinsoo's Rageblade is an indispensable choice for Kalista. Additionally, since her damage is magic-based, you can combine strong items like Thornmail to optimize damage or Hand of Justice to help Kalista recover during combat.
Lux
Through many patches, Lux remains one of the 'easy to play, easy to win' cards for TFT players. With tremendous damage output and a straightforward team composition, Lux is always the most favored magic damage carry at 4-cost alongside Azir or Gwen. The 55.4% top 4 rate of the Supreme Sorceress Lux composition is the clearest evidence of her strength in the 13.16 meta of TFT.
Shojin's Spear along with Thornmail will be the item combo to help Lux ensure a stable damage output during combat. Additionally, you can also choose the Last Whisper as the third item to counter the Nightbringer composition.
Kai’Sa
Similar to Lux, Kai’Sa also remains relatively unaffected in patch 13.16 update, maintaining stability within the meta. Kai’Sa's wide area damage with the Void composition is a formidable weapon against any opponent. Particularly, the increased power threshold in the late game with Bel’Veth is why the Void composition with Kai’Sa as the flagship is favored in the 13.16 meta. Currently, this composition holds a top 4 rate of up to 57.7%.
For items, Shojin's Spear and Statikk Shiv are two commonly sought-after choices for Kai’Sa. Additionally, to counter the armor from the Nightbringer composition, Last Whisper is also a viable item for Kai’Sa to increase her damage output.
