Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to Swain's superior poke range and sustain advantage through his passive.
- Post-6 you can win if you land E-W-Q combo, but Swain's R sustain makes extended fights difficult.
How to Trade
- You should focus on short E-W-Q burst trades when Swain steps up, then immediately back off.
- Never try to extended trade as his passive healing and R sustain will out-damage your DPS.
Wave Control
- You need to farm safely under tower and look for quick waveclears with Q to minimize Swain's poke windows.
- Focus on scaling through CS rather than fighting for wave control early.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You cannot afford to miss your E cage as it's your only reliable way to land damage and avoid Swain's combo.
- Getting hit by his E-W combo without your cage up often results in losing 40-50% of your health.
