Who Wins
- Pre-6 you lose 2v2s due to Caitlyn's superior range and Swain's sustain through passive, but post-6 you can win if you land Q on either enemy for burst combos.
- Your R provides significant execute damage that can turn fights.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for Q bindings when Sivir uses W to push waves, then follow with E-auto-R combo while she continues damage.
- Coordinate with her E spell shield to block Swain's W or E during all-ins.
Wave Control/Roaming
- You should roam frequently after clearing waves with E, especially mid-game when your R cooldown is low.
- Optimal timings are after shoving with Sivir's W, when bot lane recalls, or when objectives spawn.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q on minions when enemies are in range, as it's your only reliable engage tool and has a long cooldown.
- Avoid using E purely for poke without mana management since you'll run out of resources quickly.
