Tenacity
.
Last Stand will make you do more damage when you are on low hp.

Early/Mid/Late Game
In the early game, try to collect as many Soul Fragments as you can with your W
and your E
to gain Max Health and become tankier, but beware of your mana problems. Try to seek the enemy jungler with W
and get vision of them. Also, you can try to steal the enemy camps to be extra annoying and get a lead to your lane. Your ideal first back option is a
Lost Chapter as it gives you a lot of mana which is
Swain's main early game problem. Poke the enemy and wait for your jungler to gank you. Before level 6 you are very vurnurable to ganks and you do not output a lot of damage. Do not try to all-in the enemy before 6 unless they are pretty low. Just try to scale and try to get your 3 items (
Liandry's Anguish,
Zhonya's Hourglass and
Rylai's Crystal Scepter) as fast as possible due to the fact that this is your biggest powerspike.
Moving to the mid game, you want to scale so continue csing. If the jungler ganks you try to turn the gank with R
and 1v2 them. BUT, try not to use your ult before dragon spawns. As soon as it spawns, use your
Teleport and fight to secure the objective. Then farm and find easy targets for you and your team to eliminate. Apply pressure to the side lanes and try to get turrets. Be with your team at least 30 seconds before dragon or baron spawns since dragons got buffed and they are extremely usefull. You always want to fight with your Ultimate ready. As you are fighting,
Rylai's Crystal Scepter will make you be close to the enemy so your ult doesn't run out. Whenever you are low, pop
Zhonya's Hourglass. You will regenerate a lot of HP thanks to
Conqueror and your R(Demonic Ascension)
. If the enemy team has, for example, an enemy
Lucian fed, stack armor. If they have a
Cassiopeia fed stack magic resist.
In the late game, try to get easy enemy picks so you and your team can apply pressure. Slay the
Baron Nashor
so you and your team can push and get inhibitors. If you think you can win 5v5 fights, pop your Ultimate and fight. Finally, destroy all their base and consequently their Nexus. GGEZ. I hope i helped you.
