// MATCHUP STRATEGY

vs Swain — SUPPORT

vs Swain — mage mirror. Range duel decides. Out-Q them at max range. Bait their R, then engage when their burst cooldown is up.

EARLY · 1-6
Laning phase

Lux support: poke-or-die. Spellthief's Edge start. Pre-position at max E range (1100) and poke enemy support with Q + E combo. Avoid engage supports (Naut/Leona/Pyke) — they all-in you in melee range.

Use W (shield boomerang) on your ADC during minion last-hits. W cast deals...

MID · 7-13
Roam & trade

Luden's Companion (rushed) spikes you. Roam mid lane post-Sorc Boots for cross-lane Q-root setups.

In skirmishes, lead with E (slow) -> Q (root) -> R. Your R can snipe low-HP enemies from another lane.

LATE · 14+
Teamfights

Backline poke + sniper. Stay 1500 range away from frontline. Save Q for the enemy frontline engage — root chains lose teamfights.

W (Prismatic Barrier) shields your entire team if positioned right — cast it through your team's frontline to backline.
