Nami vs Swain

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use (E) and (W) to buff and sustain your ADC through Swain's pull and root threat.
Deny Swain's brush control to reduce his (E) root angles and protect ADC access.
Hold (Q) bubble for slowed or committed targets to enable ADC follow-up or disengage with (R).

Trading pattern

Buff ADC autos with (E) after slowing enemies to maximize burst during trades.
Hold (Q) bubble until Swain or his ADC commit to engage for reliable follow-up.
Deny Swain brush access to reduce his pull threat and force him into less effective angles.

Danger windows

(E) root and pull combined with ADC follow-up creates burst threat; avoid overextending near brush.
Level 6 all-in with (R) drain forces extended fights; hold (Q) and (R) for peel and ADC protection.
(W) slow after (E) pull increases enemy ADC threat; maintain spacing and vision to deny surprise engages.

Early game

Track level 2 race closely and only contest wave if ADC can follow your (E)+(W) trade.
Secure brush control early to limit (E) pull angles and protect ADC positioning.
Use wave state to create short trades, then reset before Swain's engage cooldowns return.

Power spikes

Level 2: (E)+(W) trades open strong poke and sustain windows; coordinate with ADC for pressure.
Level 3: Full kit unlocks bubble setup; use brush control and cooldown tracking to punish Swain's engage.
Level 6: (R) provides engage or peel; use with confirmed ADC follow-up or to safely disengage Swain's all-in.

Win conditions

Convert lane control into ADC access by buffing autos and landing slows for follow-up damage.
Deny enemy ADC positioning by controlling brush and vision to limit Swain's pull angles.
Use wave crashes and river vision to create safe roam windows and prepare dragon setups with ADC.
