Guide to Synergizing Swain and Diana

Tips for Playing as Swain with Diana

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 Diana Will Play

Use Moonfall and Lunar Rush to stay on targets and activate Moonsilver Blade for extra damage.

Consider when to cast Lunar Rush without Moonlight and when to wait for another Crescent Strike.

Landing Crescent Strike is critically important, but don't be afraid to miss. The cooldown is short and the mana cost is low.

How to Play with Diana as Swain in LoL

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

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

When Swain is paired with Diana, he observes a little drop in his total damage dealt. This change may demonstrate that Diana does not support by providing protection for him to dish out more damage or that her presence also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Swain is played with Diana on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays without Diana. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Diana.

Moreover, when Swain plays with Diana on the same team, he on average receives a little less damage than when he fights alone. Taking not as much damage may mean that Diana does a decent job of protecting Swain during team fights.

Is Swain better when played alongside Diana?

There is no top ally for Swain that will always be his ideal ally. However, Diana is a very typical ally for Swain. By being on the same side as Swain, she lowers their win rate by -0.2% to 51.1%. This clearly indicates that there is only a small synergy between Swain and Diana that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Diana has a much lower diffuclty than Swain. That means Swain players don't need to be cautious when arranging Diana teammates to play with, as they will need a much lower level of skill to be able to do well with you.

When playing on the same side, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magical damage. When paired, these champs are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

Conversely, by grouping Swain and Diana together, you may not be providing your team a great deal of crowd control. Plan to have other champs on your team that nullifies this relative gap in their abilities.

Regardless of your Diana ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
