Veigar vs Swain

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 9, 2026

Overview

Prioritize controlling brush to deny (E) pull engage angle and protect your ADC.
Use (E) to peel and zone, enabling safe ADC access during extended fights.
Maintain river vision to track Swain's roam timer and prevent mid or dragon pressure.

Trading pattern

Use (E) to punish Swain's predictable pull attempts and create follow-up windows for your ADC.
Hold (E) for peel when (R) drain is active to protect ADC from sustained damage.
Coordinate engage cooldowns with your ADC to avoid fighting inside Swain's drain zone.

Danger windows

(E) root and pull create high-risk windows for your ADC to be locked down.
Enemy ADC follow-up after (E) root increases threat; maintain peel cooldowns.
Swain's level 6 (R) drain sustains him in fights; avoid prolonged trades inside his zone.

Early game

Contest level 2 to prevent (E)+(Q) pull trade from enabling enemy ADC follow-up.
Keep wave near your turret early to reduce Swain's engage range and protect ADC.
Deny brush control to limit Swain's root angles and reduce enemy engage threat.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (E)+(Q) pull combo; avoid extended trades without ADC follow-up.
Level 6 (R) empowers Swain's sustain; use your (R) burst after trapping targets to counteract.
First mage item plus (Q) stacks boosts your burst; pressure waves and force Swain to respect your poke.

Win conditions

Convert brush control and (E) zoning into safe ADC access and denied enemy engage angles.
Use wave state to enable safe roams with vision setup around river and dragon.
Leverage level 6 (R) burst to punish Swain when (E) is down or after successful cage traps.

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