Guide to Countering Evelynn as Swain

Tips for Playing as Swain against Evelynn

While laning, try to use Death's Hand's piercing damage to damage opponents from a safe distance.

Vision of Empire is quite difficult to land on its own, look for skirmishes around the map where enemies may be distracted or crowd controlled so you can land it more easily.

If you're having trouble rooting an enemy with Nevermove, try throwing it at opponents when they are near their minions so the explosion surprises them.

Demonic Ascension may make Swain very hard to kill but he's pretty easy to get away from. Try building items that can slow opponents to keep them in range if their mobility is overwhelming.

Advice to Win Against Evelynn

Purchasing Vision Wards can help you detect Evelynn's location in order to prepare for her ambushes.

A large share of Evelynn's threat is in her charm, 'Allure.' Protect allies marked with 'Allure' or, if you are marked, make sure allies are between you and where Evelynn may attack from.

If you suspect Evelynn is about to ambush one of your teammates, let them know by pinging the minimap and typing in chat.
