Swain
The Noxian Grand General
Swain is a battlemage who excels in extended fights. His crowd control and sustain make him effective as both support and APC in the bot lane.
Best Support Synergies
Nautilus
Tank
Nautilus' hard engage works great with swain E's leading to early kills in the laning phase. Overall, mid-game to late, Nautilus can pull targets into Swain's ult for maximum damage.
Leona
Tank
Leona's easy stuns and landing through minions makes for an easy synergy with swain. Leona can easily engage at level 2, which is the exact time Swain's combo starts to become more effective. A mass target stun with Leona R can create for an easy cleanup / drain for swains ultimate.
Alistar
Tank
Alistar's CC perfectly sets up Swain's passive pull and E root for devastating combos. Their combined tankiness and CC make for an extremely oppressive lane, while their AOE damage and control excel in teamfights.
Ashe
Marksman
Ashe's slow and arrow perfectly sets up Swain's E (Nevermove) pull combo. The combination of their CC creates an extremely oppressive lane with high kill potential.
Pantheon
Fighter
Pantheon's point-and-click stun perfectly sets up Swain's E (Nevermove) for guaranteed root and pull combo. Both champions are aggressive early game fighters who can snowball lane hard, and their combined dive potential with Pantheon's W and Swain's ultimate makes them extremely threatening in skirmishes.
