Who Wins
- You win most early trades through superior base stats and W's Unstoppable preventing Swain's E pull combos.
- Post-6 Swain gains significant kill pressure with R sustain and can kite your engage attempts more effectively.
How to Trade
- Look to W through minions to hit Swain with Brittle, then immediately E forward to proc the bonus damage and knockup.
- If he uses E to pull you, your W's Unstoppable will prevent the displacement and you can continue the trade favorably.
Wave Control
- Push early waves to establish priority since Swain lacks waveclear pre-6 and your W clears casters efficiently.
- After 6, maintain slow pushes to avoid extended trades where his R sustain becomes overwhelming.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use E aggressively without W Brittle setup as Swain can E-W-Q you during your dash animation for heavy damage.
- Avoid fighting in his R form unless you have a significant health advantage or can quickly burst through his sustain.
