Tips & Tricks

  • 1.R (Demonic Ascension) drains nearby enemies and can be recast for AoE burst; stay in the middle of fights.
  • 2.Passive (Ravenous Flock) pulls CC'd enemies toward you; use it after E root or ally CC for free repositioning.
  • 3.E (Nevermove) returns after traveling out and roots on the return — aim behind enemies for the snare.
  • 4.W (Vision of Empire) has massive range; use it to scout objectives, assist distant fights, and slow enemies.
  • 5.Swain thrives in teamfights in close quarters; avoid getting poked out before fights and look to all-in.
