Swain into Hweimedium

Overview

Threaten root from minion angles but only pull when your ADC can immediately follow up.
Hold for extended fights or peel when Hwei or enemy ADC commits engage.
Deny enemy brush to reduce Hwei's poke angles and force him to use defensive spells.

Respect Hwei's spellbook CC choice; hold peel for ADC safety during his root or fear.
Enemy ADC follow-up after Hwei's CC creates high burst risk; position to peel or disengage.
Losing brush or fog control increases vulnerability to Hwei's poke and surprise engages.

Contest level 2 only if your ADC can follow your + engage for a kill or summoner burn.
Deny Hwei brush control to limit his poke angles and reduce enemy ADC access.
Use wave state to ensure your ADC can safely trade or crash before roaming or vision resets.

Level 2 unlocks + combo; use it to force early summoner spells or poke windows.
Level 3 grants full kit; leverage slow and vision to zone and set up pulls.
Level 6 transforms fights; engage only with confirmed ADC follow-up and river vision control.

Convert brush control and pulls into ADC burst kills and denied enemy ADC positioning.
Use drain zone to sustain through all-ins and enable extended fights with your ADC.
Set river vision and coordinate dragon setup to leverage your lane priority and roaming windows.
