Guide to Synergizing Swain and Anivia

Tips for Playing as Swain with Anivia

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.

Advice to Understand How Anivia Will Play

Timing Flash Frost with Frostbite can lead to devastating combinations.

It can be very difficult for enemy champions to kill her egg early in game. Seize the advantage by playing aggressively.

Anivia is extremely reliant on Mana for Glacial Storm. Try getting items with Mana or going for a Crest of the Ancient Golem buff on Summoner's Rift.

Is Swain better when played alongside Anivia?

There is no one best companion for Swain that will no matter what be his #1 teammate. However, Anivia is a very typical teammate for Swain. By locking into the same side as Swain, she improves their win rate by 0.1% to 51.4%. This clearly indicates that there is a weak synergy between Swain and Anivia that allows them to perform better together than without each other.

Anivia has a greater difficulty than Swain. That means you need to be cautious when arranging Anivia allies to fight alongside, as they will require a greater level of skill to play well with you.

Working on the same side, Swain players should see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magical damage. Combined, these champs can blast through enemies with magic damage.

In contrast, by bringing Swain and Anivia together, you may not be giving your team a great deal of attack damage. We recommend you have other champs on your team that neutralizes this hole in their abilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Anivia teammate, you should focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
