Guide to Synergizing Nami and Swain

Tips for Playing as Nami with Swain

Nami's ultimate can come in very handy for initiating on enemies who are far away.

Using Ebb and Flow during an engagement with enemy champions will help sway the battle in your favor.

Aqua Prison has a long cooldown, make sure to use it at the right moment.

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, Nami 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 may signal that Swain supports by providing cover for her to deal more damage or that his presence on the team also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Nami is played alongside Swain on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays without Swain. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Swain.

Moreover, when Nami plays with Swain on the same side, she usually receives a little less damage than when she plays alone. Receiving not as much damage could mean that Swain does a decent job of covering Nami during teamfights.
