How to Play Swain in ARAM Mayhem

You play Swain as a frontline mage. Walk up behind your tanks, land Nevermove (E) on grouped enemies, then pull rooted champions into you and start Demonic Ascension (R). The form lasts as long as you keep draining champions, so stay in the middle of the fight instead of kiting. Spirit Visage strengthens that drain healing, and Tank Engine with Rylai's Crystal Scepter push you toward a durable build that is hard to escape.
