Swain Changes By Patch

v8.3 - Swain, The Noxian Grand General Released to Live Client

Back to Top

About The Champion : : Did you know..?

- His quotes "ANY MAN WHO MUST SAY 'WE ARE WINNING' IS NOT TRULY WINNING" and "A ONE-ARMED MAN NEEDS ALL THE HELP HE CAN GET." are references to Tywin Lannister from Game of Thrones

- Irelia cut off Swain's left arm during the Battle of the Placidium.

- Undaunted, Swain confronted the Demonic Ascension Ancient Demon who had revealed the truth to him, subdued it, and used its Death's Hand power to overthrow Darkwill and force the Black Rose to submit to his authority.

- As a result, Swain is now the Grand General of Noxus, one of Valoran's most powerful empires

- Swain has formed an alliance with Darius, the Hand of Noxus, and they worked together to unite the nation behind a vision of true Noxian strength.

- Swain's Trifarix Council was probably based on the Roman Triumvirate, Swain being the Leader of Vision

- The Black Powder Plot to assassinate Swain references the Gun Powder Plot by English Catholics to blow up King James I and the House of Lords.
