Although Swarm uses the same client as League, it\u2019s still basically a different game, and we\u2019re here to walk you through the entire process of\u00a0playing Swarm step by step. How to download LoL client The first and most important step is downloading and installing League\u2019s client (if you haven't already). To do this, go to Riot Games' official website and find League of Legends. This will take you to League\u2019s page, where you can click Play for Free. Once you do that, you\u2019ll need to create your Riot Games account, and if you\u2019re already registered, just log in with your username and password, which will take you straight to the Download page. Click to Download, and when you install the client, log in with your username and password, and you\u2019re good to go. Where to find LoL Swarm in the client When you enter the client and download everything, there\u2019s a Play button on the left corner. Click on it, and you can choose which type of game mode you want to play. There are four options: Summoner\u2019s Rift, Aram, Swarm and Arena, and Teamfight Tactics. Choose Swarm and Arena, then pick the Swarm mode and confirm.\u00a0 How to play LoL Swarm Swarm is a great PvE game mode that you can also play as a co-op with your friends, but before you jump into the Swarm world and start killing those Primordians, you must choose a champion and a map. If you\u2019re a newcomer, you have only one map, the Warehouse District, and three starting champions, Jinx, Leona, and Seraphine. To unlock all playable champions and maps, you have a certain number of quests, achievements, and missions to complete, and with your Swarm progress, you\u2019ll eventually unlock them all. Although it\u2019s different from League because you move your champion with your keyboard, Swarm is easy to play, and it offers a fun new experience where your main goal is to survive big waves of monsters. To achieve this goal, good positioning, gathering, and leveling your items and passive slots all guarantee you success.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/LoL-Anima-Squad-skins.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1295192"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2585"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1295192"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1295192\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1295278,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1295192\/revisions\/1295278"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1270928"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1295192"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1295192"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1295192"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1295192"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1295192"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1295192"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1295192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
