How to build Swain

Swain – the Noxian Grand General – is based on our LoL Tier List on patch
11.4
a C-Tier Sup Support champion. Based on ranked matches from summoners with a PLATINUM+ tier,
Swain has a win rate of
49%
, a pick rate of
2.7%
, a ban rate of
1.6%
and an average KDA Ratio of
2.3
, which shows that the
Mage is in a bad spot in the current meta. If you want to build and play
Swain on your matches, keep in mind that this champion is mechanically advanced to play in LoL. Besides the upcoming Swain Support Build the position Adc is a valid choice as well.

Swain runes and summoner spells. The best Swain Runes

on the position Sup Support are
Domination as the primary path and
Inspiration as the secondary path. The most supportive
Swain keystone rune is
Electrocute.
Flash and
Ignite are the summoner spells, which fits this LoL Swain Build the most.

Swain Abilities

At the beginning of a match start to skill the ability

Nevermove on
Swain. As the match progresses, it is best to maximise
Death's Hand into
Vision of Empire and at last
Nevermove.
Death's Hand is a very strong ability of
Swain in order to build up a lead and dominate your opponents. The passive is called
Ravenous Flock and there is no need to set it manually on a Swain Build.

Biography

Jericho Swain is the visionary ruler of Noxus, an expansionist nation that reveres only strength. Though he was cast down and crippled in the Ionian wars, his left arm severed, he seized control of the empire with ruthless determination… and a new, demonic hand. Now, Swain commands from the front lines, marching against a coming darkness that only he can see—in glimpses gathered by shadowy ravens from the corpses all around him. In a swirl of sacrifice and secrets, the greatest secret of all is that the true enemy lies within.
