Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to Swain's range, sustain, and your limited gap-close options against his poke.
- Post-6 you become the 1v1 winner with R-Q-W combo, especially if you can dodge his E with your E.
How to Trade
- Your best trading is waiting for Swain to use Q on minions, then Q-W-auto and E out before he can retaliate.
- Post-6, look for R-Q-W all-ins when his E is on cooldown or when you can E-dodge it.
Wave Control
- Accept being pushed early and focus on last-hitting under tower while looking for jungle assistance.
- Post-6, you can start controlling waves by threatening all-ins and forcing Swain to respect your kill pressure.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste E defensively in early levels unless you're about to die, as it's your only escape and trading tool.
- Never R without having a clear plan to follow up, as missing it gives Swain a long window to abuse you.
