Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use brush control and (W) stealth to threaten hooks and create ADC follow-up windows.
Prioritize river vision and roam timers to punish Swain's immobility and missing pings.
Force Swain's lane to be volatile by denying his pull angles and protecting your ADC's positioning.

Trading pattern

Hide (Q) hook threat using brush or (W) stealth to surprise Swain and pull targets into ADC burst.
Use (E) stun to cut off escape paths after hook for reliable follow-up.
Hold engage cooldowns until Swain commits (E) or misses, then punish with ADC burst and roam.

Danger windows

Respect (E) root and ADC follow-up when he controls brush or minion angles.
Avoid extended fights inside (R) drain zone where he sustains heavily.

Deny Swain brush control to limit his (E) pull angles and ADC follow-up.
Crash waves before roaming to keep your ADC safe from Swain's zone control.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your combo of (Q) plus (E) for strong engage and pick potential.
Level 3 grants full kit and (W) stealth, enhancing roam threat and brush control.
Level 6 ultimate enables execute resets, turning skirmishes into snowball opportunities.

Win conditions

Convert hooks and stuns into kills to snowball your ADC and create numbers advantages.
Roam after wave crashes with river vision to pressure mid and secure dragon control.
Deny Swain's ADC access by controlling brush and timing engages around his cooldowns.
