Best Team Comps for Swarm
Please note: Swarm is currently not live.
Swarm is now out, and it’s time to play as much as possible while it’s around. Swarm is a part of Riot Games’ Summer event and is only around for a limited period of time, so make sure you play it as much as you can while it’s around!
In this Mobalytics article, we will give you some team compositions that work well in Swarm. They’re a great starting point for people who have just grouped up with friends, or are trying to complete the campaign for the first time with their friends.
This guide is subjective, and you may not like some of our comps, but that is totally okay as this gamemode is a for-fun gamemode and you should ultimately play champions and team compositions that you enjoy playing.

Before we get into it, try not to think too much about your team comp. You can only pick champions you want to play when you’re playing as a squad. When playing with random people, you cannot build a comp as you’re randomly assigned teammates. Also, the game is just for fun, so don’t overthink it!
I will now break down some good team compositions I have found and played with.
Jinx Carry
Team comp: Jinx, Seraphine, Seraphine, Illaoi
In this team composition, you will rely on Jinx early to destroy the mini-bosses. She will do most of the damage as the other champions lack damage in the early game. Leave the bosses for her. This is an easy-to-build, early team composition, and you can quickly unlock Illaoi, Jinx, and Seraphine, which are starting champs.

Xayah Carry
Team comp: Xayah, Seraphine, Seraphine, Yasuo
This team composition is a variation of the Jinx Carry comp, except this comp is more in-tune for players with more game mode experience and unlocked all the champions. Xayah will be the main carry in the early game, and then she will use the shielding strength from both Seraphines to keep them alive.

AOE
Team comp: Illaoi, Illaoi, Seraphine, Aurora
This team composition relies on Illaoi carries maximizing their tentacles to deal tons of AOE damage. You will also pick Seraphine and Aurora who also have AOE abilities. If both the secondary carries get weapons, extra projectiles, etc etc, you’ll quickly lose your champion with the amount of ability and weapon spam on your screen.

Slam Dunk
Team Comp: Illaoi, Illaoi, Seraphine, Riven.
This team composition relies on Illaoi carries maximizing their tentacles to deal tons of AOE damage. In this team comp, you’ll have the Seraphine to protect you early, while also dealing a lot of damage with her attacks when she has upgraded her weapon and got a ton of projectiles flying out. Instead of having Aurora, you pick Riven instead.

Shield and Shields
Team Composition: Seraphine, Seraphine, Seraphine, Riven
In Swarm, you can play teams with the same champions. For this “for fun” team comp, you will pick 3 Seraphines and a Riven. The Riven is going to be the carry, and the Seraphines will be just throwing out shields. It is really simple to play, but make sure the best player is playing as the Riven!

Multi-Tank
Team Composition: Leona, Briar, Illaoi, Riven
The main carry of this team composition is Riven. She will be picked with 3 tank champions who have a lot of AOE damage. Riven is going to be the carry, with the assistance of Illaoi. Then Briar and Leona will be the main tanks/utility champions who will soak up the damage.

Triple Utility
Team Composition: Aurora, Xayah, Seraphine, Leona
This is the only team comp we are providing that has Aurora in it. As you can tell, Aurora isn’t that good, but I guess it is one way of trying her without having to buy her or play around the dodges in LoL. This comp relies on 1 carry (Xayah) with 3 utility/tank champions.

Double Carry
Team Composition: Yasuo, Illaoi, Seraphine, Xayah
This team comp relies on having Yasuo as the main carry along side Xayah. This is a team comp that you will not unlock until the late stages of the grind, due to it needing Xayah. There are 2 main carries for this comp, while Illaoi and Seraphine will be the tanks that soak up damage.

Leo Tank
Team Composition: Leona, Xayah, Seraphine, Riven
This team composition relies on Leona and Riven to be the tanks, while Seraphine provides utility and shields to her allies. Xayah will be the main carry of this comp, but you could replace Xayah with Jinx if you haven’t unlocked Xayah yet.
