Support Swain Build

General

1. You're a healer, Harry.
2. Even though Swain is not typical support, you are gonna support your team very effectively. With heals, shields and buffs:
• Heal summoner spell.
• Guardian and Font of Life runes.
• Redemption, Locket of the Iron Solari and Moonstone Renewer and other items.

General

1. Your first rush is Redemption.
2. Your second rush can be Locket of the Iron Solari (vs AoE), Moonstone Renewer (sustain).
3. Also, Echoes of Helia is pretty good because you can proc it consistently with Font of Life (slow/cc).
4. Rush second Locket if your team already doing teamfights or when an enemy team has champions with super aoe damage (example: like Fiddle's ult). Otherwise, get Moonstone Renewer #2. The third item should be whatever you did not buy - Locket of the Iron Solari or Moonstone Renewer. That's your core.
5. Another decent item if you have carry/strong bruiser/strong tank is Knight's Vow.
6. Try to use summoner spell Heal on cooldown. With Moonstone Renewer, ideally there should be at least two people for maximum healing effect.
7. Later in the game, for maximum support - you can sell boots for sixth item.
8. You can get items like Ardent Censer (some auto attackers needed) or Staff of Flowing Water. It will be triggered often enough that it will be worth.
9. Interesting item is Cryptbloom. If you want to go full healing, you can get it like #4+ item.

Runes

1. Guardian is important rune. It is going to provide tons of shielding. Remember that you need to be close to your allies to proc it.
• You can also manipulate it - for example, you can stick to one ally, or avoid some spells that's gonna only waste it.
2. You will be triggering Font of Life effect, which will heal your allies. It also chains off Moonstone Renewer!
3. Font of Life total healing is not properly calculated in a post-game lobby. Value is bigger in the game vs. what's displayed in statistics. You heal more!
4. Another important rule is Cosmic Insight, it reduces cooldown for your active items (so more heals/shielding) and Heal summoner spell.

Redemption

1. Try to use Redemption on cooldown, when your allies are missing some health. It is best to use when they are grouped. Especially if you already have Moonstone Renewer, it is best to wait (or ping) until they group together, so you can have them all healed.
2. Remember that you can use Redemption for the damage. However, in general, it is not worth it. Keep it to heal your team!
3. Be careful when using Redemption while you are dead, and you are about to be respawned. The camera will go to your position, and you can cast it in the spawning pool by mistake. Watch out for bad timing!

Champion

1. You can use Vision of Empire (W) to stop enemies taking portal (frost-gate). Time it well, and they will need to walk, and you will get the turret!
2. Vision of Empire (W) trick works even better with all DoTs effects (Liandry's Anguish and Demonic Embrace).
3. Enemies in your base? Use Demonic Ascension (R) before taking portal (frost-gate), this way you damage everyone on your way.
4. Did you just catch someone with your Nevermove (E)? Do not use second E right away, but use it at the very last moment for maximum CC.
5. After you catch someone with your Nevermove (E), you can set up Vision of Empire (W) for a certain hit.

Riot

1. 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.
2. While laning, try to use Death's Hand's piercing damage to damage opponents from a safe distance.
3. 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.
4. 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.
