Swain Matchups Overview

Swain General information

Swain tips and tricks

Reactivate your NevermoveE after landing it on a target to pull them closer to you.

Swain’s Root NevermoveE will only trigger on the closest enemies hit on its return. Take aim and try to use it so it leaves little room for the enemy to react and dodge it.

Activate your Ultimate Demonic AscensionR as soon as a fight occurs to increase your chances of coming out ahead and surviving the fight.
