Senna vs Swain

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use long-range poke and (Q) sustain to control lane space and protect your ADC.
Deny (E) pull angle by maintaining brush control and positioning to prevent root follow-up.
Prioritize vision in river and enemy brush to reduce Swain's engage and roam threat.

Trading pattern

Trade with autos and (Q) from max range, holding (W) to root Swain when he oversteps.
Hold peel cooldowns until Swain commits (E) root to enable your ADC's follow-up damage.
Deny brush access to prevent Swain's angle for (E) root and coordinate trades with your ADC.

Danger windows

Respect (E) root and pull, especially when his ADC can burst after root.
Avoid fighting inside Swain's ultimate zone (R) where he sustains and punishes extended trades.
Be cautious when Swain has brush control or fog of war for surprise (E) roots and engages.

Early game

Track level 2 closely and only contest wave if your ADC can follow your (Q)+(W) root trade.
Use brush control to limit (E) pull angles and protect your ADC from his engage.
Avoid stepping up for souls when Swain's engage cooldowns or ADC follow-up are available.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your (Q)+(W) root combo; use it with ADC follow-up to punish Swain's engage attempts.
Level 3 mist reposition improves your poke and peel; use brush control to maximize root threat.
Level 6 grants global shield and damage; use (R) to enable safe all-ins or disengage with ADC follow-up.

Win conditions

Convert poke and root picks into ADC access denial and forced recalls.
Use vision control around dragon and river to enable safe roams and objective setups.
Time engages around your (W) root and (R) shield cooldowns to secure favorable 2v2 fights with ADC follow-up.
