Who Wins
- You dominate pre-6 with superior range and Q poke, forcing Swain to play defensively and miss CS.
- Post-6 becomes more dangerous as Swain's R sustain and all-in potential can overwhelm you if he lands E, but you still win if you maintain proper spacing.
How to Trade
- Use Q to poke whenever Swain goes for CS, and place E mines defensively to prevent his engage attempts.
- Keep maximum range and use W to disengage if he lands E, as his full combo can be lethal even through your range advantage.
Wave Control
- Constantly push waves with Q to prevent Swain from roaming and force him to farm under tower where he's less effective.
- Maintain vision control and use your superior waveclear to create recall timings and map pressure.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't get caught in melee range where Swain's sustain and damage output become overwhelming, especially post-6.
- Avoid using W aggressively for poke, as it's your primary escape tool when Swain lands E and commits to an all-in.
