Swain NOXUS

By Rambo MasterBaiter
News
Patch 25.04 what concerns swain:
Abyssal Mask -5 MR
Fimbulwinter -80 bonus shield at lvl 18
Unending Despair removed 8-15 based on level healing now only stack with the +3% bonus health
Personally i don't think it will affect swain builds much

Guides Still in progess
Im playing with the BBCODE trying to learn and apply for this guide
I plan to do more rune like i did for conqueror but it take me some time so ill do it time to time
I want to simplify rune page to have one per keystone and add info on the rune section i will do what i can on free time hoping to have a complete guides
I plan to update each patch
ENJOY guys and give feedback or tips :)
Swain
This is bad looking for now but i focus on rune at the momentVersatile champ
You can be Hybrid for more constancy
You can be pure dps
You can be pure tank
You can be burst
You can be support
Probably just not jungle... it can be done for fun but plz dont do it in rank

Each game you have to make your plan when you are in champ select

Swain excels mid game and on teamfight if your ULT is up look for a way to use it.
Most time you hit 6 it is time for drake so it can be a good time to ask team for a
fight around drake , if not drake its the voidgrub
Rune
Ability haste , Life per lvl , life per lvl. This is simply my fav. You can swap 1 for 1 for the extra 9 ap if you plan to go full ap
Another option mostly if you play bot, the atk speed will help last hitting and keep equal dmg to the wave for lvl 2 prio a bit more AP but much less hp late game
Standard page
Best rune for teamfight with extended time when fully stack provide 48 bonus ap , + the 5% heal is a small bonus for fight sustain when Ult is on. Can use by default if you try the champ for first time best option
Provide the mana you need (only take Triumph if you go Manaflow Band) Or ( Triumph+ Treasure Hunter, most time used is if you support and want te bonus gold from it)
Haste is too good to think about other option here
Best option for most time you can use Coup de Grace or Last Stand but you should go Cut Down everytime
It pair very well with passive, Give a nice bonus armor/magic resist even if you dont build any item tanky it will help you to tank since Passive: Ravenous Flock give alot hp its best to get armor/magic resist to benefits best from it
Boost your hp with a 3.5% max hp it pair very well with Passive: Ravenous Flock since you stack alots hp
Adaptations
You are support role and you want to pair Treasure Hunter with triump the Cheap Shotprovie extra dmg when you land E or W
You are support role and you want to be able to use ULT more often to dominate with the slow, i prefer to use Grisly Mementos for more Sweeping Lens but you can use Deep Ward if you prefer
The ability haste provide by Transcendence is always good to boost dps, Gathering Storm combine with Conqueror provide so much ap late game it is the best for pure dmg build
If you use Manaflow Band you can swap Presence of Mind for Triumph. The ability haste is so good with swain you need it
This is something special its look great on paper but in fact into the game its look a little bit less helpfull id say just use Axiom Arcanist if you go with a Malignance build combine with Ultimate Hunter
If still want to go Axiom Arcanist The Scorch give a nice bonus for poke
Free boots with bonus mvs is always cool to have i can be good vs lane you dont need early boots. Cosmic Insight Can be pair with Ghost to be a fast swain on ULT. Biscuit Delivery can be an option on lane who poke alot + the extra 120hp is quite nice
Use Second Wind vs very hard matchup / poke lane like Orianna, Revitalize will help with Second Wind + Passive: Ravenous Flock + ULT Demonic Ascension this might be the only time i use Last Stand since you get buffed under 40% hp and you will not win lane but play for teamfight, Revitalize can be super worth with enchanter support like soraka
Your not a split pusher almost never use those rune, still Demolish combien with Passive: Ravenous Flock and Overgrowth can deal a bunch of dmg to tower
There is some matcup where you can go with Bone Plating the 55 sec give you window for trade, its can be a bit harder to play around. Good vs aurora
Alternative keystones


Poke , win lane orientation
Best rune for small trade in lane if you want to bully a melee matchup
Provide the mana you need. Only use Axiom Arcanist if you go Presence of Mind
Haste is too good to think about other option here
Combine with aery the poke is boosted
Haste is too good to think about other option here
This is simple the rune who will provide the more dmg at the end of the game. Boost all the poke to put low the enemy in front of you, it will make it easy for a gank, a low enemy will be tempting




Bot lane APC
This is best DMG rune over the game, when you play bot lane as APC you can stack both Dark Harvest and Passive: Ravenous Flock faster
Provide bonus true dmg on E and W or every 4 sec if you got rylai
Cd for Farsight Alteration or Oracle's Lens later into the game
ULT cd always good since Swain want to teamfight and perform good when ult is up
The mana sustain is needed
Best with Dark Harvest


Since you support role you kind of only need to land E for a kill the Electrocute will give you a burst to give the kill on ADC
Provide bonus true dmg on E and W or every 4 sec if you got rylai
Cd for Oracle's Lens later into the game
ULT cd always good since Swain want to teamfight and perform good when ult is up
You play support with Malignance you always want to have ULT up, so Axiom Arcanist goes well with it. Since you are support you need less mana
More cd for kill potential with E




Pretty much same as aery but you got more chance to ''miss'' the comet , on the other hand it can do more dmg on teamfight when it hit multiple enemie
