Who Wins
- You win trades pre-6 with superior range using Q-W poke while staying outside Swain's E range.
- Post-6 you maintain advantage through kiting, but must respect his all-in potential if he lands E-W combo into R.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is Q-W poke when Swain goes for CS, then reposition your ball defensively to zone him from follow-up.
- Use W to slow his approach and maintain distance while weaving in auto attacks during his ability cooldowns.
Wave Control
- Maintain slow pushes to keep minions between you and Swain's E, while using Q to poke and farm simultaneously.
- Avoid hard shoving unless you can recall safely, as Swain can freeze and zone you from CS with threat of E-W combo.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't position your ball too aggressively for poke if Swain has E available, as getting pulled will result in significant damage.
- Avoid face-checking bushes or overextending without vision, as Swain's E-W-R combo can 100-0 you if you're caught out of position.
