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.
The Swain Yuumi synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Yuumi, 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 very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Yuumi. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Yuumi helps Swain perform poorer in ranked League of Legends games. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is not very impactful.
When Swain is paired with Yuumi, he gets a small increase in his complete damage output. This could demonstrate that Yuumi supports by providing protection for him to dish out more damage or that her presence also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Swain is played alongside Yuumi on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Yuumi.
Additionally, when Swain plays with Yuumi on the same team, he on average takes a little less damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage could mean that Yuumi does a decent job of protecting Swain during teamfights.
There is no perfect synergy for Swain that will always be his #1 ally. Yet, Yuumi is a very bad companion for Swain. By locking into the same team as Swain, she lowers their win rate by -3.6% to 47.7%.
