How to play it

✓

Dodge his E

during every trade or you lose it hard: stand between Swain and your ranged minions so the root catches on them instead of you.

✓

Punish his whiffs

Trade in every time he misses E or wastes W: his early damage can't kill you, and mid-late you 1v1 him easily by abusing his long cooldowns.

✓

Stick through the slow

After 6 it's about staying on him: your Ghost outruns his Rylai's slow, but he can reactivate R to slow you again, so don't over-extend when kited.

✕

Never dive Swain at 100% HP into turret: his ult heal and Zhonya's flip the dive and you feed him for free.

Tryndamere vs Swain in Top lane is a favourable lane on patch 26.17. The one thing to respect: his E root is the only thing that turns his poke into a real trade, dodge it and he can't touch you.
