Synergy & Trading

  • Engage with E on the enemy ADC, then Q for the stun extension while Swain follows with E + Q combo.
  • Use W during your engage to maximize resistances and ensure Swain can follow up safely.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Roam when Swain can safely farm and poke, typically after level 6 when he has sustain and wave control.
  • Look for roam opportunities when the enemy bot lane recalls or when your wave is pushing.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't engage when Nautilus has Q available and you're not confident in killing the target, as his counter-engage can turn fights.
  • Avoid using E through minions against Jhin, as he can use the travel time to position for W root on Swain.
