Janna vs Swain

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use (Q) and brush control to deny (E) pull engage angle and protect your ADC.
Prioritize shielding your ADC's trades and holding (R) to reset Swain's all-in attempts.
Maintain river vision to track Swain's roam timer and prevent mid or dragon pressure.

Trading pattern

Hold (Q) to punish Swain's predictable (E) pull and enable ADC burst follow-up.
Use (E) shield on ADC's best auto trades to block return damage during short trades.
Save (R) to interrupt Swain's committed all-ins or to disengage after his drain zone activates.

Danger windows

Respect (E) root and pull range when he angles through minions; avoid overextending.
Beware of Swain's level 6 ultimate zone; keep ADC out of his drain range to prevent sustained fights.
Deny Swain brush control to reduce his hook angles and prevent enemy ADC from safely engaging.

Early game

Track level 2 race closely and only contest wave if ADC can follow your (Q) engage threat.
Control brush with charged (Q) to block Swain's root angles and keep ADC safe.
Coordinate wave crash timing to enable safe roams while your ADC stays protected.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your (Q) and (W) for shield plus disengage; use this to contest (E)+(Q) pull trade.
Level 3 completes your peel kit; leverage brush control and cooldown tracking to deny Swain's engage.
Level 6 (R) provides fight reset and disengage; use it around ADC follow-up or river setup to counter Swain's drain.

Win conditions

Convert brush and (Q) control into denying Swain's ADC access and forcing poor positioning.
Use (R) and (E) shields to enable your ADC's scaling and survive Swain's level 6 all-ins.
Set river vision before roaming windows to assist mid and secure dragon, then return before ADC vulnerability.
