Guide to Synergizing Vayne and Swain

Tips for Playing as Vayne with Swain

Don't go in first to a large teamfight. Wait for your teammates to initiate.

Tumble has many uses, but it cannot pass over walls.

Condemn can be used to both pin targets to walls to ensure a kill, or to escape a pursuer.

Advice to Understand How Swain Will Play

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.

By playing on the same team as Vayne, he raises their win rate by 0.6% to 50.9%. This shows that there is a weak strategic relationship between Vayne and Swain that allows them to perform better together than alone.

Swain has a lower difficulty than Vayne. That means Vayne players don't need to be cautious when lining up Swain comrades to play with, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to work well with you.

Fighting together, Vayne players should see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to destroy wih physical damage. When paired, these champions can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Conversely, by aligning Vayne and Swain together, you probably will not be giving your other teammates enough cover. Plan to bring other champs on your team that helps cover this gap in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of your Swain ally's skill level, you should focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
