Having an old man with a raven on your team isn’t something cool, but having an old man that can turn into a dragon who knows no mercy when it comes to war is the coolest thing that you will see.
This is a full guide on how to use Swain in TFT to make him unbeatable, showing you how to fit him into the best team and get the 1st place.

He once fought dragons, now he became one of them.
Swain, the Noxian grand general, was born into a patrician family and raised in Noxus. He knew no mercy when it came to loyalty. He even killed his own parents, among many other prominent conspirators.
Swain went into many wars knowing that greed had driven him mad, until the battle of the Placidium took place, where he lost his knee and left arm.
Swain got himself a demonic hand and had control of ravens from the corpses around him. In a stream of sacrifices and secrets, he knew that the greatest secret is that the true enemy lies within.
Best Swain builds in TFT Season 4 - Stage II
Swain’s ability
Image
Dragon Master's Decree
Swain releases his dragonling flock, launching 8 dragonlings toward nearby enemies that each deal magic damage to their target, then return to Swain and heal him for 12% of his missing Health.
Damage: 85 / 120 / 600
Swain’s best items:
1-Gargoyle Stoneplate
Image
Grants 16 Armor and 16 Magic Resist for each enemy targeting the holder.
2- Morellonomicon
Image
Grant 20 bonus Ability Power. Magic or true damage from an Ability burns the target, dealing 10% of the target's maximum Health as true damage over 10 seconds, and reducing healing by 50% for the duration.
3- Warmog's Armor
Image
Grant 700 bonus Health.
Best comps for Swain
3) Assassin-Darkflight

Rengar is back to TFT with tons of damage along with all the assassin. Having Zeke’s on your Darkflights (Aphelios, Rell, and Qiyana) would provide Nilah and Rengar with so much attack speed, allowing them to slice enemies.
Best team for this build:
1-Dragon Tyrant Swain being placed in the frontline can handle a lot of damage and buy time for the assassins to kill all the enemy team.
2-Qiyana counts as an additional assassin while being in the Darkfligh circle, giving all Darkflight units the item she holds (Zeke’s Herald).
3-Rell, adding to the Darkflight trait while being a tank with Swain.
4-Aphelios as a darkflight gaining tons of attack speed, he would deal some good damage from the backlines.
5-Rengar, being the main carry gaining a lot of HP and attack speed would make him a beast.
6-Nilah being in a team of 4 assassins and placed beside darkflighs would make her deal tons of damage.
7-Diana is the 4th assassin, which would make it a set of four assassins.
2) Darkflight Ragewing
Image
This comp requires a good economy while reaching level 8. Having 2 of the high-cost Dragons isn’t an easy task, but once hitting them, it’s a guaranteed win.
Having Shyvana as the main carry in terms of damage and Swain in terms of tanking would make you unbeatable.
Best team for this build:
1-Shyvana being your main damage carry, knocking up all enemy champions and dealing tons of damage as a Ragewing.
2-Swain being your main carry as a part of 6 Darkflight would make him un-killable.
3-Senna is the best choice to be placed in the Darkflight circle as she will activate the Cannoneer trait for Aphelios and hit 4 ragewing trait for Shyvana.
4-Rell adding to the Darkflight trait while being a tank.
5-Rengar as an assassin, dealing tons of damage to the enemy’s backline and adding to the Darkflight.
6-Aphelios having his Cannoneer trait activated and being a member of Darkflights would make him deal some good damage from the backlines.
1) Sol and Swain
Image
This is a slow reroll to level 9, trying to get Sylas and Rengar to level 3 while having a good economy to get Aurelion Sol and Swain to level 2 at least by level 8.
Aurelion Sol would be your main damage carry, while Swain would be your main tank carry.
Best team for this build:
1-Swain being a Darkflight Dragon would make him the best tank you would get to protect Aurelion Sol.
2-Aurelion Sol having the Evoker trait activated would make him hit his ultimate unstoppable.
3-Rengar adding to the Darkflights and dealing some pretty good damage to the enemy’s backlines.
4-Rell being an additional Darkflight and a tank gaining extra HP.
5-Sylas being a whisperer would make his team deal extra damage while having a shield would make him a tank.
6-Aphelios borrowing time for Aurelion Sol as a Darkflight.
7-Zyra activates the whisper trait for Sylas and shares the item she holds with the Darkflight champions.
