Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use poke and brush control to deny Swain and his ADC safe access to the wave.
Hold (Q) stun for setups when enemies cluster near brush or minions for ADC follow-up.
Prioritize vision in river and tri-brush to prevent Swain pull engages and enable safe ADC positioning.

Trading pattern

Apply Blaze with (W) or (E) before threatening (Q) stun to maximize poke and create ADC follow-up.
Deny Swain brush control to reduce his pull threat and force him to miss (E).
Hold cooldowns to peel if Swain or his ADC attempts engage after missed poke spells.

Danger windows

(E) root combined with ADC follow-up creates high danger; avoid clustered positioning near brush.
Level 6 (R) drain forces extended fights; respect its duration and position to protect ADC access.
Swain's engage angles improve with brush control and fog; maintain vision to deny surprise pulls.

Early game

Track level 2 poke and stun timing to coordinate with ADC for winning early trades.
Control brush to limit (E) pull angles and protect ADC from root follow-up.
Use wave state to create safe poke windows without overextending or losing ADC access.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your poke plus stun combo; use it to pressure Swain before he hits level 3.
Level 3 completes your kit for full poke and peel; use brush control to maximize (Q) threat.
Level 6 (R) bounce damage punishes clustered fights; coordinate with ADC for all-in or disengage.

Win conditions

Convert poke damage into ADC access denial by zoning Swain's ADC from the wave.
Use brush control and vision to secure safe river setups for dragon and prevent Swain roams.
Coordinate (R) bounces with ADC burst to win 2v2 skirmishes and establish lane dominance.
