How to play it

✓ DO

Respect his R

His Demonic Ascension sustains him through a fight — you can't out-damage the heal raw.

Rush anti-heal

Rush Executioner's — cutting his healing is the entire matchup.

Off-meta pick

Swain support isn't meta anymore, so expect a rare pick and don't panic into it.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never keep grinding a fight without anti-heal — his sustain just resets the trade.
