Tips for Playing as Lux with Swain
If you have trouble landing Prismatic Barrier, remember that it returns to you after it reaches max range. Try positioning yourself to hit your allies with its return trip.
Lux has great zone control abilities. Try to set up Lucent Singularity to prevent an enemy's advance or escape.
Lucent Singularity is a great scouting tool. Try throwing it into brush before walking into it to check for ambushes.
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.
Lux Swain Synergy Stats
How to Play with Swain as Lux in LoL
The Lux 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, Lux sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Swain. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Swain helps Lux perform not as well in ranked LoL matches. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is only marginal.
When Lux plays on the same team as Swain, she observes a small decrease in her full damage dealt. This change could demonstrate that Swain doesn't help cover for her to dish out more damage or that his presence on the team also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Lux is played alongside Swain on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Swain.
Additionally, when Lux plays with Swain on the same team, she usually receives a little less damage than when she plays alone. Receiving not as much damage could mean that Swain does a decent job of protecting Lux during team fights.

Is Lux better when played alongside Swain?
There is no universally accepted best ally for Lux that will always be her best ally. Yet, Swain is a very typical ally for Lux. By locking into the same team as Lux, he improves their win rate by 0.9% to 50.7%. This demonstrates that there is not really a strong bond between Lux and Swain that allows them to perform better together than alone.
Swain has a greater difficulty than Lux. That means you need to be careful when finding Swain teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a greater level of skill to play well with you.
Fighting on the same side, you should witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magic damage. Combined, these champs can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.
Although, by grouping Lux and Swain together, you may not be giving your team enough sustained damage output. We recommend you have other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative hole in their capabilities.
Regardless of your Swain ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
