Guide to Synergizing Swain and Jayce

Tips for Playing as Swain with Jayce

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 Jayce Will Play

For increased range and damage, try casting Shock Blast through the Acceleration Gate.

If you find yourself taking lots of damage, try using Jayce's Hammer Stance, as it grants you additional defenses.

Be sure to switch stances often. It will enhance your attacks and grant you quick bursts of speed.

How to Play with Jayce as Swain in LoL

The Swain Jayce synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Jayce, 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 Jayce. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This negative change shows that Jayce helps Swain perform poorer in competitive League games. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Swain is an ally to Jayce, he observes a little drop in his complete damage output. This may demonstrate that Jayce doesn't help cover for him to dish out more damage or that his presence also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Swain is played with Jayce 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 alongside Jayce.

Additionally, when Swain plays with Jayce on the same side, he often receives a little less damage than when he fights alone. Taking not as much damage could mean that Jayce does a decent job of covering Swain during teamfights.

Is Swain better when played alongside Jayce?

There is no one best ally for Swain that will no matter what be his ideal ally. However, Jayce is a terrible ally for Swain. By locking into the same team as Swain, he drops their win rate by -3.4% to 47.9%. This proves that there is a very bad strategic relationship between Swain and Jayce that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.

Jayce has a lower difficulty than Swain. That means Swain players don't need to be very careful when enlisting Jayce comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

When playing on the same side, Swain players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magic damage. When paired, these two can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

In contrast, by pairing Swain and Jayce together, you probably will not be giving your other teammates a lot of support. Plan to have other champs on your team that offsets this gap in this pairing's playstyle.

Regardless of your Jayce ally's skill level, you should focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
