Who Wins

  • You lose early trades due to Swain's range and sustain, but you gain kill pressure at level 6 with your ultimate combo.
  • Focus on farming safely and looking for all-in opportunities once you have your full kit.

How to Trade

  • You should use Q to farm and poke simultaneously, then use your mobility to avoid Swain's return damage.
  • Look for opportunities to E-Q-passive proc when Swain wastes his E or steps too far forward.

Wave Control

  • You want to keep waves in the center or slightly pushed toward you to set up ganks and all-ins.
  • Avoid letting Swain freeze the wave as his range advantage becomes oppressive in extended laning phases.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • You cannot afford to take too much poke early as it limits your all-in potential at level 6.
  • Do not use your E aggressively without your ultimate available, as Swain's team can easily collapse on you without your escape mechanism.
