Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades through superior range and burst potential, as your Q-E combo outranges Swain's abilities and he lacks sustain early.
- Post-6 the matchup shifts heavily in Swain's favor due to his R providing massive sustain and damage in extended fights that you cannot match.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is Q-E-auto when Swain steps up for CS, then immediately back off to avoid his W-E combo retaliation.
- Never commit to extended trades as his passive healing and higher base damages will win longer engagements.
Wave Control
- Push waves quickly with E to maintain range advantage and prevent Swain from freezing or setting up ganks with his W.
- Keep the wave in neutral positions where you can poke safely while having escape routes from his E-W combo.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never get caught by his E pull as it guarantees his full W-Q combo and puts you in lethal range for his R engage.
- Avoid fighting in minion waves where his Q can hit both you and minions for maximum damage and healing.
