With the start of Season 14, we also got tons of new items, especially for mages. Caster's Companion is one of them, replacing the beloved Luden's Tempest.

With an average price of 3,000 gold, Caster's Companion is a legendary item with all the stats a mage needs, granting you the following stats and Passives:

  • 90 AP
  • 20 Ability Haste
  • 600 Mana
  • Load: Gain a Shot Charge every 3 seconds, up to a maximum of 6.
  • Fire: Damaing abilities consume all Shot charges to deal an additional 40 (+ 8% AP) magic damage to the target and one additional nearby target per charge. If there are insufficient targets in range, for each remaining Shot, repeat the damage on the primary target dealing 35% of the damage.

Unlike Luden's Tempest, which had a 7 second-cooldown to proc, Caster's Companion grants you constant DPS due to its new loading technique.

Best Champions With Caster's Companion

Just like with Luden's Tempest, burst mages will profit a lot from Caster's Companion, such as Syndra, Lux, Zoe, Annie or Neeko.

At the end of the day, Caster's Companion is just a buffed version of Luden's Tempest, giving you the possibility of procing your Passive several times in a short duration. Especially burst champs that also got some poke with their abilities will make great use of this item. For that reason, Syndra and Lux might be the best mages for this item, since they also poke their enemies down and don't just try to one-shot them.
