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.

Overall, Syndra sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Swain. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN.

This difference could signal that Swain does not provide protection for her to deal more damage or that his presence also helps extend the game's duration.

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Swain.

Additionally, when Syndra plays with Swain on the same team, she typically receives a little more damage than when she plays alone. Taking more damage may mean that Swain does a poor job of covering Syndra during teamfights.

Is Syndra better when played alongside Swain?

There is no ideal ally for Syndra that will no matter what be her top teammate. Yet, Swain is a very typical teammate for Syndra. By locking into the same side as Syndra, he increases their win rate by 0.2% to 48.9%. This shows that there is not really a strong synergy between Syndra and Swain that results in them performing better together than alone.

Swain has a lower difficulty than Syndra. That means Syndra players don't need to be cautious when arranging Swain comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Working cooperatively, you will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magical damage. Combined, these champs are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

In contrast, by aligning Syndra and Swain together, you will not be providing your side enough AD. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that nullifies this relative disparity in this pairing's playstyle.

Regardless of the skill of your Swain ally, you need to focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
