Lux vs Swain

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use long-range poke and binding threat to control brush and deny Swain engage angles.
Prioritize protecting ADC from (E) root pull and coordinate peel with (W) shield.
Maintain lane space and river vision to prevent Swain's level 6 all-in and roaming pressure.

Trading pattern

Poke with (E) to force Swain back and punish missed (E) with (Q) root plus ADC burst.
Hold (Q) to peel for ADC when Swain attempts (E) pull or level 6 all-in.
Deny brush and use vision to avoid Swain's hook angles and enable safer ADC follow-up.

Danger windows

(E) root and pull create high threat zones; keep ADC out of pull range and ready to peel.
Level 6 all-in with (R) drain forces tight positioning; avoid extended fights without ADC follow-up.
Brush control loss grants Swain better engage angles; maintain vision and deny fog to protect ADC.

Early game

Win level 2 by landing (Q) root to prevent (E)+(Q) pull combo.
Deny Swain brush control to reduce his pull angles and enable safer ADC positioning.
Coordinate wave crash with ADC to create roam windows before Swain's level 6 spike.

Power spikes

Level 2: (Q)+(E) combo opens poke and peel windows; use this to secure early lane control.
Level 6: (R) unlocks powerful all-in and pick potential; track cooldown to avoid risky trades.
First mage item: enhances poke damage and wave control; increase pressure while maintaining peel readiness.

Win conditions

Convert poke and (Q) roots into ADC access denial and forced recalls for dragon setup.
Use wave crash and vision control to create safe roam windows impacting mid and river objectives.
Leverage (W) shield and (R) pick threat to enable favorable 2v2 fights and teamfight positioning.
