| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Swain | Level 1 you out-stat an immobile MF who can't dodge your point-and-click Q. |
| Level 2 | Swain | Level 2 your Q poke beats a Miss Fortune stuck auto-CSing with no escape. |
| Level 3 | Swain | Level 3 E Nevermove is a guaranteed root all-in on a no-dash ADC. |
| Levels 4-5 | Swain | Levels 4-5 your P drain sustain wins every trade her poke tries to start. |
| Level 6 | Swain | Level 6 R Demonic Ascension hard-counters her stationary Bullet Time channel. |
| First item | Swain | At first item your root-led engages stick while she needs to free-cast to matter. |
| Two+ items | Swain | With 2+ items you flank and root her out of Bullet Time before her AoE ramps. |
Levels 1-2 you out-stat an immobile Miss Fortune easily; walk up behind minions and stack Q while she tries to CS, only respecting her Q Double Up bounce off the caster minions. She has no way to dodge your point-and-click threat. A walk-up costs her nothing to allow and everything to answer, so step in behind your own creeps and stack bolts while she farms. Stay off any line running through a low minion. Root her as she accelerates forward, then crash the wave and collect the plate.
