Guide to Synergizing Elise and Swain

Tips for Playing as Elise with Swain

Spider Form is most effective at finishing off enemies with low health; Human Form's Neurotoxin does more damage to healthy foes.

Elise's Spider Form and Spider Form abilities do not cost mana and can be prioritized when you are trying to conserve mana.

When in Spider Form, Spiderlings will attack the target that Elise uses Venomous Bite on.

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 Elise in LoL

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

When Elise is paired with Swain, she sees a barely noticable drop in her full damage output. This change may indicate that Swain does not support by providing cover for her to dish out more damage or that his support also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Elise is played 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 synergisticly with Swain.

Additionally, when Elise plays with Swain on the same side, she typically receives a little less damage than when she fights alone. Receiving not as much damage could indicate that Swain does a decent job of protecting Elise during teamfights.

Is Elise better when played alongside Swain?

There is no universally accepted best synergy for Elise that will always be her best teammate. Yet, overall, Swain is a relatively poor companion for Elise. By being on the same side as Elise, he lowers their win rate by -1.3% to 46.8%. This demonstrates that there is a negative bond between Elise and Swain that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Swain has a lower difficulty than Elise. That means Elise players don't need to be very careful when lining up Swain teammates to play with, as they will need a lower level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Working cooperatively, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magical damage. When paired, these champs are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

Conversely, by aligning Elise and Swain together, you will not be giving your side a great deal of crowd control. We recommend you have other champions on your team that offsets this relative disparity in their capabilities.

Regardless of the ability of your Swain teammate, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well, regardless.
