Guide to Synergizing Swain and Cassiopeia

Tips for Playing as Swain with Cassiopeia

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 Cassiopeia Will Play

Lead your enemy when targeting with Noxious Blast to ensure the hit.

Use Twin Fang on poisoned stationary targets like monsters and units stunned by her Petrifying Gaze for maximum damage.

How to Play with Cassiopeia as Swain in LoL

Overall, Swain sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Cassiopeia. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Cassiopeia helps Swain perform worse in competitive League of Legends games. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is only marginal.

When Swain is an ally to Cassiopeia, he gets a barely noticable drop in his complete damage output. This could indicate that Cassiopeia doesn't help protection for him to deal more damage or that her support also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Swain is played together with Cassiopeia on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Cassiopeia.

Additionally, when Swain plays with Cassiopeia on the same team, he typically receives a little less damage than when he plays alone. Getting dealt not as much damage may mean that Cassiopeia does a decent job of protecting Swain during team fights.

Is Swain better when played alongside Cassiopeia?

There is no top ally for Swain that will always be his best ally. Yet, Cassiopeia is a very typical ally for Swain. By locking into the same side as Swain, she decreases their win rate by -0.8% to 50.5%. This shows that there is only a small bond between Swain and Cassiopeia that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Cassiopeia has a greater difficulty than Swain. That means you must be cautious when enlisting Cassiopeia comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a greater level of skill to work well with you.

Working cooperatively, Swain players should observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magic damage. Combined, these two can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

In contrast, by pairing Swain and Cassiopeia together, you may not be providing your other teammates enough anti-tank damage dealing potential. Plan to have other champs on your team that offsets this relative disparity in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of your Cassiopeia ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
