Swain, The Noxian Grand General is a battle mage and is never afraid to take on the entire enemy team alongside his raven.

He excels with the healing effects of his ultimate and has the ability to find and catch enemy champions with his W and E.

Swain’s passive allows him to pick up soul fragments from deceased champions. This happens automatically with nearby soul fragments of deceased enemy champions through his ravens. He also removes a soul fragment from each champion hit by his W or E. For each increase of these fragments, Swain gains 12 permanent bonus lives and heals himself for 3-6% (based on his maximum life) when collecting each soul.

Grasp of Death is Swain’s Q. With this, Swain unleashes five dark lightning bolts in the chosen direction, dealing magic damage to enemies in a cone. Enemies hit by multiple lightning bolts take additional magic damage.

W – General’s Foresight is an ability that can reveal a very distant area after a short delay (5500 to 7500 units cf. Sivir Autoattack 500) and deals magic damage in the selected radius (325 units) and both reveals and slows down targets hit for 2.5 seconds.

With E – Never Faster, Swain fires a demonic wave in the chosen direction, dealing magic damage to all enemies it passes through. Upon reaching the maximum distance, the wave turns around and flies back to Swain, detonating on the first enemy it hits, dealing magic damage to all nearby enemies and pinning them for 1.5 seconds. In addition, said units will be revealed, even if they are supposed to be invisible champions.

Swain can re-trigger E – Neverbringer, pulling the pinned champions over 290 units towards him and extracting Soul Fragments from them.

Demonic Wings is Swain’s ultimate. This allows him to absorb the life force of enemies close to him and both deal magic damage and heal himself with it. The healing effect is reduced by 90% against minions and monsters. While Swain’s Ultimate is active, the cooldown of Swain’s E – Neverbringer is reduced by 20% to keep targets with him or pull them into his ultimate radius. Swain’s ultimate continues to run as long as enemy champions are in it. As soon as this is not the case, his Demonic Energy will gradually drop from the starting level (50). If you get within range of an enemy before the energy reaches 0, the demonic energy will build up again for each tick of the ultimate. Targets do not have to be visible to be hit by his ultimate.

Swain can reuse his ultimate once while it is active to deal magic damage and slow nearby enemies in his immediate vicinity by 60%. This effect gradually decreases over 1.5 seconds until the targets are no longer slowed.
