Guide to Synergizing Swain and Hwei

Tips for Playing as Swain with Hwei

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 Hwei Will Play

Calm down, breathe, and focus.

Each stroke requires precision and intention.

Is Swain better when played alongside Hwei?

There is no perfect champion pairing for Swain that will no matter what be his best ally. Yet, Hwei is a very bad companion for Swain. By locking into the same team as Swain, they decreases their win rate by -4.5% to 46.8%. This demonstrates that there is a terrible bond between Swain and Hwei that allows them to perform worse together than alone.

Hwei has a greater difficulty than Swain. That means Swain players must be careful when lining up Hwei allies to fight alongside, as they will require a greater level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Playing cooperatively, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magical damage. Together, these champs are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

In contrast, by aligning Swain and Hwei together, you will not be giving your other allies enough engage. We recommend you pick other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative disparity in their potential.

Regardless of the ability of your Hwei ally, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
