Guide to Synergizing Kled and Swain

Tips for Playing as Kled with Swain

Chaaaaaaaarge!!! can be cast at a great range. Try and predict where the enemy team will be by the time you reach them.

The last hit of Violent Tendencies deals more damage than the first three - make sure you hit it!

Kled generates some courage by killing minions, but gets much more from fighting Champions.

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.
