Guide to Synergizing Zoe and Swain

Tips for Playing as Zoe with Swain

Sleepy Trouble Bubble travels further over walls. Find a hiding spot to set up for a long distance kill.

Break Sleep with your biggest damage source, since enemies who are asleep take double damage.

Paddle Star deals more damage the further it has flown. Casting it behind yourself before redirecting can deal tons of damage.

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.

How to Play with Swain as Zoe in LoL

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

Overall, Zoe sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Swain. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Swain helps Zoe perform not as well in competitive LoL rounds. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Zoe tries to synergize with Swain, she observes a barely noticable drop in her full damage output. This difference may indicate that Swain does not support by providing cover for her to dish out more damage or that his presence on the team also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Zoe is played together with Swain on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Swain.

Additionally, when Zoe plays with Swain on the same team, she typically receives a little more damage than when she fights alone. Getting dealt more damage may mean that Swain does a poor job of covering Zoe in team fights.

Is Zoe better when played alongside Swain?

There is no perfect synergy for Zoe that will no matter what be her top synergy. However, Swain is a very typical companion for Zoe. By playing on the same side as Zoe, he increases their win rate by 0.6% to 47.6%. This signals that there is a weak bond between Zoe and Swain that results in them performing better together than alone.

Swain has a greater difficulty than Zoe. That means Zoe players should be very careful when enlisting Swain teammates to fight alongside, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to work well with you.

Fighting cooperatively, Zoe players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magical damage. When paired, these champions can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

In contrast, by bringing Zoe and Swain together, you may not be giving your team a great deal of anti-tank damage dealing potential. Plan to include other champions on your team that helps cover this disparity in this pairing's capabilities.

Regardless of your Swain ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
