Guide to Synergizing Ashe and Swain

Tips for Playing as Ashe with Swain

Hawkshot reveals units in brush. If a team fight is occuring in the jungle it can give you a significant advantage.

Volley arrows are blocked by the first enemy they hit, so keep your distance to avoid having them all absorbed by enemy frontliners.

Try to fire Enchanted Crystal Arrow in the same direction enemies are moving, so it is more likely to hit.

Advice to Understand How Swain Will Play

While laning, try to use Death's Hand's piercing damage to damage opponents from a safe distance.

Vision of Empire is quite difficult to land on its own, look for skirmishes around the map where enemies may be distracted or crowd controlled so you can land it more easily.

If you're having trouble rooting an enemy with Nevermove, try throwing it at opponents when they are near their minions so the explosion surprises them.

Demonic Ascension may make Swain very hard to kill but he's pretty easy to get away from. Try building items that can slow opponents to keep them in range if their mobility is overwhelming.

How to Play with Swain as Ashe in LoL

The Ashe Swain synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Swain, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Ashe sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Swain. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Swain helps Ashe perform worse in ranked League of Legends matches. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Ashe tries to synergize with Swain, she gets a little drop in her total damage dealt. This change may indicate that Swain doesn't help protection for her to deal more damage or that his support also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Ashe is played alongside Swain on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Swain.

Additionally, when Ashe plays with Swain on the same side, she typically takes a little more damage than when she plays alone. Taking more damage could indicate that Swain does a poor job of covering Ashe in team fights.

Is Ashe better when played alongside Swain?

There is no ideal companion for Ashe that will 100% of the time be her ideal teammate. Yet, overall, Swain is a pretty good ally for Ashe. By locking into the same team as Ashe, he raises their win rate by 1.9% to 50.5%. This proves that there is a good bond between Ashe and Swain that results in them performing better together than without each other.

Swain has a much greater difficulty compared to Ashe. That means Ashe players should be very careful when arranging Swain teammates to play with, as they will require a much greater level of skill to be able to work well with you.

Working cooperatively, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magic damage. When paired, these champs can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

Conversely, by pairing Ashe and Swain together, you will not be giving your side enough support. We recommend you have other champions on your team that offsets this relative gap in their capabilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Swain ally, you should focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well, regardless.
