Guide to Synergizing Swain and Ashe

Tips for Playing as Swain with Ashe

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.

Advice to Understand How Ashe Will Play

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.

How to Play with Ashe as Swain in LoL

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

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

When Swain tries to synergize with Ashe, he gets a small increase in his total damage output. This could signal that Ashe supports by providing cover for him to deal more damage or that her participation also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Swain is played with Ashe on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Ashe.

Moreover, when Swain plays with Ashe on the same side, he on average takes a little more damage than when he plays alone. Receiving more damage could mean that Ashe does a poor job of covering Swain during teamfights.

Is Swain better when played alongside Ashe?

There is no universally accepted best synergy for Swain that will always be his #1 synergy. Yet, overall, Ashe is a very typical companion for Swain. By playing on the same side as Swain, she drops their win rate by -0.8% to 50.5%. This clearly indicates that there is only a small synergy between Swain and Ashe that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.

Ashe has a much lower diffuclty than Swain. That means Swain players don't need to be cautious when lining up Ashe teammates to play with, as they will need a much lower level of skill to work well with you.

Working together, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magic damage. When paired, these two can blast through enemies with magic damage.

Although, by bringing Swain and Ashe together, you probably will not be providing your other allies much utility. Make sure to pick other champions on your team that offsets this hole in their playstyle.

Regardless of your Ashe ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well, regardless.
