Guide to Synergizing Ivern and Swain

Tips for Playing as Ivern with Swain

Use Brushmaker to set up future ambush spots!

Try to help allies follow up a good Rootcaller hit with Triggerseed!

Daisy can block skillshots and slow down enemies. Use her to peel for your teammates!

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.

Is Ivern better when played alongside Swain?

By playing on the same side as Ivern, he improves their win rate by 1.0% to 51.8%. This shows that there is a good bond between Ivern and Swain that allows them to perform stronger together than without each other.

Swain has a greater difficulty than Ivern. That means Ivern players should be careful when arranging Swain teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Playing cooperatively, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magical damage. When paired, these two are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

In contrast, by bringing Ivern and Swain together, you probably will not be granting your side a lot of anti-tank damage dealing potential. Make sure to bring other champions on your team that helps cover this relative disparity in this pairing's capabilities.
