Tips for Playing as Swain with Mordekaiser
While laning, try to use Death's Hand's piercing damage to damage opponents from a safe distance.
Vision of Empire is quite difficult to land on its own, look for skirmishes around the map where enemies may be distracted or crowd controlled so you can land it more easily.
If you're having trouble rooting an enemy with Nevermove, try throwing it at opponents when they are near their minions so the explosion surprises them.
Demonic Ascension may make Swain very hard to kill but he's pretty easy to get away from. Try building items that can slow opponents to keep them in range if their mobility is overwhelming.
Advice to Understand How Mordekaiser Will Play
Hitting multiple champions with the same ability can help quickly activate Darkness Rise.
Offense is your defense. Keep fighting to build up larger Indestructible shields.
Use Realm of Death on a low health enemy to guarantee the kill and keep their stats for the rest of a teamfight.
