Who Wins
- You win trades pre-6 with Q-soldier positioning and auto attacks while maintaining safe distance.
- Post-6 you maintain advantage through range and mobility, but must respect Swain's all-in potential if caught without E.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading is Q-auto-auto with soldiers then repositioning before Swain can respond with E.
- Use W-E-Q combo for extended trades only when Swain's abilities are on cooldown.
Wave Control
- Establish soldier control in lane center to zone Swain from CS and maintain slow pushes.
- Avoid hard shoving unless you can recall safely, as Swain can freeze and force dangerous positions.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste E dash aggressively or position soldiers too far forward where Swain can easily land E-W combo.
- Avoid fighting in tight spaces near walls where your mobility advantage is minimized.
