Who Wins

  • Post-6: You lose if caught by either enemy's CC due to your low mobility and health pool.

Synergy & Trading

  • Use Q poke consistently while Swain zones with E-W, focusing on farming safely rather than aggressive trades.
  • When Swain lands E, follow up with Q-W for extended damage before enemies can retaliate.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Freeze waves near your tower to farm safely and scale, only pushing when enemies recall.
  • Let Swain control wave states early while you focus on Q stacks and avoiding enemy engage.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't get caught in Veigar's E cage or Anivia's Q stun, as either CC leads to instant death from their combined burst damage.
