How to Beat Swain as Yuumi (Support)

The Yuumi versus Swain matchup as support is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

The magic damage that Yuumi deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Swain deals primarily magic damage (85.74%), additional magic resistance may be required.

An important advantage of Yuumi is superior vision control (ranked 48th among supports) (versus 51st for Swain), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.4 versus 4.4) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Yuumi Support versus Swain Support matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Yuumi player to maintain constant pressure on Swain, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Playing Against Swain

  • Swain's passive is very potent if you are immobilized. Make sure to be extra careful around enemies who have immobilizing effects.
  • High mobility counters all of Swain's basic abilities: Death's Hand does more damage the closer he is, Vision of Empire has a very long delay and Nevermove must start returning back to him to be dangerous.
  • Buying an item with Grievous Wounds will make Swain much easier to kill during his Demonic Ascension.
