Guide to Synergizing Zyra and Swain

Tips for Playing as Zyra with Swain

Seeds grant vision to your team.

Placing a seed in your spell's path after you have cast it gives you the best chance of having a seed in the proper spot.

Zyra is a great ambusher - look for opportunities to set a trap of seeds in brush, then lure enemies in.

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.

Overall, Zyra sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Swain. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN.

When Zyra is paired with Swain, she sees a marginal improvement in her total damage dealt. This may signal that Swain helps provide cover for her to dish out more damage or that his allyship also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Zyra is played alongside Swain on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Swain.

Additionally, when Zyra plays with Swain on the same team, she typically takes a little more damage than when she plays alone. Getting dealt more damage may mean that Swain does a poor job of covering Zyra in teamfights.

Is Zyra better when played alongside Swain?

There is no ideal synergy for Zyra that will always be her best teammate. However, overall, Swain is a pretty good ally for Zyra. By being on the same side as Zyra, he increases their win rate by 2.5% to 55.1%. This proves that there is a somewhat important synergy between Zyra and Swain that allows them to perform better together than without each other.

Swain has a greater difficulty than Zyra. That means Zyra players must be very careful when arranging Swain comrades to play with, as they will require a greater level of skill to cooperate well with you.

When playing together, Zyra players should witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magic damage. When paired, these two can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

Although, by aligning Zyra and Swain together, you may not be providing your other teammates very much AD. We recommend you pick other champions on your team that fills this disparity in their playstyle.

Regardless of the skill of your Swain ally, you should focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
