Guide to Synergizing Swain and Janna

Tips for Playing as Swain with Janna

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 Janna Will Play

Timing Janna's ultimate can push enemies away from a wounded ally or even separate enemies.

Eye of the Storm can be used on allied turrets.

Quickly firing a Howling Gale without the charge up can be used to heavily disable the other team.
