Guide to Synergizing Ryze and Swain

Tips for Playing as Ryze with Swain

Spell Flux's short cooldown allows it to be used to spread Flux to many enemies.

Use Overload's passive to optimize for maximum damage or maximum speed.

Ryze can move and cast other spells while Realm Warp is charging without cancelling the portal.

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 Ryze better when played alongside Swain?

There is no ideal ally for Ryze that will always be his best teammate. However, Swain is a very typical ally for Ryze. By locking into the same team as Ryze, he raises their win rate by 0.1% to 49.1%. This demonstrates that there is a weak bond between Ryze and Swain that allows them to perform stronger together than without each other.

Swain has a greater difficulty than Ryze. That means Ryze players should be careful when finding Swain comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a greater level of skill to cooperate well with you.

Working on the same side, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magic damage. Combined, these champs can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

Conversely, by bringing Ryze and Swain together, you probably will not be granting your other teammates a great deal of attack damage. Plan to include other champions on your team that neutralizes this gap in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of your Swain ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
