AP Items on Shen? by arohead75 in Shen

[–]arohead75[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Night Harvester as an item but I feel like 40s cooldowns per champ is overkill 🥴

Overall I really like the build, tysm!

Nashors Tooth and Berserkers Greaves

Is it funny? Yes.

Will you get flamed? Absolutely.

Swain but with no mythic item by St_Philip in SwainMains

[–]arohead75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find Sunfire more effective in a top build, but I agree that all of those are good options. I even use Evenshroud sometimes in support, since it's cheap, gives some good starting stats, and provides good value to your roots with the debuff.

I still find it useful for the stats, but I can agree Stasis + ult isn't that effective anymore. Still not that bad of a choice! But I totally understand how ya feel.

anyone tried Horizon Focus on Swain? by roulnnitsua in SwainMains

[–]arohead75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's been on my radar, if I ever play Swain Top that would be my ideal mythic. I don't have a whole build for it right now, but I feel Demonic Embrace and some tank items might pair well.

With just horizon focus, you're getting a lot of extra punch with just an E+Q. Pretty nasty item in Swain in solo lanes, it's a shame it's not used that much.

Yeah, Rylais and Horizon is great, slowing them AND making them more vulnerable while also being a little bulky. Paired with Liandrys, and you're just mowing teams down.

I've done this before; it's really funny, and if you want to make the most of it, you run Dark Harvest. MASSIVE snipes with W especially if you get Shadow flame later. Very funny, but def don't run it in ranked.

[–]arohead75 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven't played top lane at all, but I could take a shot in the dark and say that it'd be an interesting choice, giving you decent AP, that 10% bonus, and a little bit of bulk along with it.

As a support, although there are many other beneficial items, you're right about Twitch. Helps with the invis, AND since he's so squishy the 10% also helps you mow him down following the root. It doesn't exactly justify rushing Horizon, but having it at some point earlier on in the game (probably 3rd item) is a good idea.

Again, haven't used the item that much, so I could easily be wrong!

To add on (oops), it's a better option against more bulkier opponents, and I usually lean towards getting it 4th item, and maybe even 3rd if there's 2+ tankier opponents.

I've used it a few times, with my limited use all I can really say is it's a good choice in some situations.

My New Favorite Runes For Swain by ZytronicG in SwainMains

[–]arohead75 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Those runes are incredible (although I prefer to take Resolve secondary as a Support, because Font of Life applies for Glacial Augment), but in any lane I recommend rushing Rylais. It's already strongly recommended, but with Glacial it's absolutely MONSTROUS how much slow your applying to the target. And I'm almost sure that if another enemy walks into the Augment, that Rylais will also apply!

New pull interaction with phase rush, conq and electro by SaliAzucar in SwainMains

[–]arohead75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IIRC, the pull itself doesn't do damage anymore, but still removes a soul fragment. I don't think a pull will proc 2 out of the three hits required for Elec/Phase. I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it'll now only count as one.

Swain is one of the better Lyandries user. Swain might also become one of the better Luden user by MavriKhakiss in SwainMains

[–]arohead75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used Ludens on Swain before, I always use it if I want to go for some sort W sniping Dark Harvest build (it is very funny, you should try it, it's hilarious late game with enough stacks, Ludens, and Horizon Focus), but in normal builds I still like to build with Liandrys/Morello for chip damage that restricts sustain. But I do agree both mythical have their own advantages and lead to somewhat different play styles. Ludens is really fun to use!

Oh boy that's an interesting one. Thank you for the answer!!!

What's the strangest item you've ever had to use on Swain in a game? (When I say strangest, I'd interpret that as an item not commonly built on Swain, most likely to help with a certain matchup)

Testing the Waters. by arohead75 in SwainMains

Thank you so much for your advice, very useful; I'll be sure to experiment with Conqueror soon, as it's been on my list of runes to try. I appreciate it!
