LoL Swarm Weapon Scaling Guide

League of Legends Swarm Weapon Scaling Guide

Weapons are crucial in Swarm, and getting weapons that deal consistent damage and synergize well with one another is pretty important. Every weapon is viable for different champions; however, some more niche weapons are in the game. Every weapon provides a range of bonuses, such as extra damage, but every weapon also scales with different things. For instance, a spell that can evolve by getting health regen can also scale with damage.

In this Mobalytics Blog post, our primary focus will be to outline each weapon and show what the weapon scales with. As we suggested, each weapon scales with multiple things, and while you need a particular stat to evolve it, getting other stat attributes that synergize with it is just as important.

We have also written a separate article outlining how to evolve each weapon. Please read that if you want to learn more about how to evolve a weapon in Swarm.

A lot of this information can be daunting and overwhelming, but a little trick you can do is just press Shift in the game. Then, look to the left of the screen to see the weapon list. You can then look for the associated weapon and stat, and then pick accordingly. There will also be little icons under each Augment section so you can see what it works with. Finally, if you put your cursor over your hotbar, you can also see a breakdown of each weapon and ability.

My favorite has to be either Jinx or Illaoi. As you can tell by this guide, some weapons don’t necessarily feel worth upgrading, and some champions don’t feel very strong. However, there is no right and wrong way to play this game, so play it how you wish and build what items you like the look of.
