Read from Morgana's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Swain.
This is Morgana's own plan; across 2,902 pooled games the lane is Morgana-favoured.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Swain | Swain — his level-1 poke and Soul Fragment sustain out-attrition your kit. |
| Level 2 | Swain | Swain — the level-2 Q+W zoning spike denies your farm and pokes you down. |
| Level 3 | Swain | Swain — through 3 his range and healing keep the trades firmly his. |
| Levels 4-5 | Swain | Swain — at 4 his E-combo threat and sustain still overpower your all-in. |
| Level 6 | Swain | Swain — Demonic Ascension drain-tanks any fight at 6, so he holds the edge. |
| First item | Swain | Swain — with first item his damage-sustain package keeps trades his. |
| Two+ items | Morgana | Morgana — late game your lockdown pick kills the immobile Swain before R ramps. |
Levels 1-3 belong to Swain: his Q fan, W zoning, and Death's Hand poke out-range and out-sustain you, and his Soul Fragment healing means your Q pokes don't stick — play safe, dodge E, and give up contested CS. His poke and his zoning reach past everything you own, so hold position and let your carry farm behind the wave. Pool your own ground rather than his, keep the shield for his root, and hunt the binding only once the pull has already missed.
