Alistar

Ideal

Long CC chain (stun and knockup), tanky, soaks dmg, and does healing. What more can you ask for? <3

Lulu

Ideal

Lulu would be awesome with Smolder because of her abilities to bolster damage, completely disable an enemy, and her ult makes you super-Smolder basically. Cons: Might die if you die from a failed engage/fight.

Nautilus

Strong

Long CC chain, tanky, builds armor rather than max HP which could be not optimal if against high AP team. His ult is very strong if positioned correctly, cannot miss, and can knock up multiple targets for you to ult. Doesn't do healing.

Tahm Kench

Strong

Q slows, E knocks up, and W absorbs damage. He doesn't heal, but he can maybe save you from death with his ult. If your supp player is good, you'll have a great time. You might want some lifesteal just in case.

Ashe

Strong

Take burstier runes. Pros: Her extended CC is great for helping Smolder do ramping damage. Cons: She doesn't heal and can't tank, so make sure to have some lifesteal in your kit somewhere.

Braum

Strong

Pros: Definitely great against bursty ADCs like Caitlyn or Miss Fortune because of his shield and jump-in-front-of-you ability. He can block a ton of damage. His ult is similar to Nautilus in that, if positioned well, can knock up multiple targets. Cons: Great protection with the sacrifice that he doesn't do much damage. No heals on kit. Braum can miss his ult and it needs good positioning.

Yuumi

Strong

Pros: Empowers your *attacks* on-hit, which does work for your Q. Can slow with her Q/ult so you can hit your abilities. She can also heal and shield. Cons: Only empowers autos and Q. She has to rely on your survivability or else it's almost a guaranteed double kill for the enemy team.

Morgana

Strong

Pros: Morgana is strong in general. Her Q is insanely long CC and her W does a lot of damage, helping you secure kills. Her ult is very strong as well, slowing enemies inside and possibly rooting them if they can't escape the circle, almost guaranteeing kills. However, she can only shield you from one ability + some magic damage. So she might not be as helpful against an auto-attacking ADC.

Blitzcrank

Strong

Tanky is stronger with Smolder because he's so squishy and needs someone to soak damage. Cons: Maybe take a burstier runepage/build with Blitz supp, because extra healing with Fleet Footwork won't do much good when the Blitz hooks an enemy into your face. Just be prepared to burst down your target when the hook lands. Blitz' ult is more damage focused than support focused, which is fine depending on your playstyle.

Janna

Mage supports like Janna can be good if you want a sustained damage poke lane with Arcane Comet.
