Karma vs Swain

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use (R) (Q) poke and (E) shield to enable your ADC's forward trades and pressure plates.
Deny Swain's pull angle by controlling brush and maintaining lane space for your ADC.
Prioritize river vision to prevent Swain's level 6 all-in and support roams.

Trading pattern

Engage trades by landing (R) (Q) splash and shielding your ADC to sustain forward pressure.
Hold (W) root to punish Swain's overcommit after he wastes (E) or misses pull.
Deny brush access to limit Swain's hook angles and reduce enemy ADC follow-up opportunities.

Danger windows

Respect (E) root and pull cooldown to avoid exposing your ADC to burst.
Avoid fighting inside Swain's drain zone post-level 6 to prevent sustained damage and healing.
Watch for enemy support and ADC engage angles from brush or fog that bypass your shield timing.

Early game

Win the level 2 race with (R) (Q) plus (W) root to secure early ADC follow-up.
Control brush to block (E) pull angles and protect your ADC from engage.
Crash the wave after pushing to open safe roam windows and set up river vision.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (R) (Q) poke plus (W) root, enabling strong poke and peel windows.
Level 3 grants full kit for poke-root-shield combos, increasing lane pressure and peel.
Level 6 ultimate enhances all-in, peel, and roam threat; use with ADC follow-up and river control.

Win conditions

Convert poke pressure into ADC plate damage and deny Swain's ADC access to trades.
Use wave control and brush denial to secure safe roams and river vision for dragon setup.
Coordinate (R) shield and root with ADC follow-up to win extended fights and teamfight entries.

Tip: For Karma vs Swain, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Support lane check.
