League of Legends’ latest bullet heaven game mode, Swarm, can be quite challenging before you start building around the best champions. There are a total of 9 characters that you will get to unlock and play as, and each brings a unique set of movesets and abilities to the table.
The champion’s abilities along with the 20 unlockable weapons bring a lot of playstyle versatility to the game mode. This also makes some champions the better choice for grinding out the various challenges in League of Legends Swarm’s higher-difficulty modes
League of Legends Swarm tier list
Picking the right champion for you in League of Legends Swarm will depend on a couple of things. The most important one is the playstyle that you are looking to go for.
Each of the 9 champions has a unique set of moves, so what fits your playstyle will likely be different than what is considered by the community to be “meta”.
The tier list we have below revolves around that particular meta and will represent the champions in order of their ease of use and their overall impact when clearing mobs and bosses.
Current Tier List:
The best champions in League of Legends Swarm
Battle Wolf Yasuo
When you get his build going Yasuo is going to be the most overpowered champion in Swarm. He comes with a ton of damage with his tornadoes, and his shield allows him to gain a fair bit of sustain helping him have an easier time surviving.
You might need to grind out a bit to get his upgrades going, but once you have his Passives in place, he will be able to melt through enemies even on Extreme Difficulty.
Battle Bat Xayah
Xayah comes with some of the shortest ability cooldowns in League of Legends Swarm. This makes her very effective when dealing with hordes and she will be the go-to DPS pick in a party when completing the various objectives on a map.
As you can also make a crit build out of her, Xayah will be able to melt through Elite enemies and Map Bosses.
Battle Bear Illaoi
Illaoi is currently the best tank in Swarm. With the right build, she can soak up a lot of damage allowing the rest of her team members to have an easier time with their DPS.
Along with being tanky, Illaoi comes with a fair bit of damage as well. Her abilities do come with a fair bit of AoE and she can be effective in clearing out the basic Primordians while drawing their aggro.
