Tips for Playing as Swain with Rek'Sai
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 Rek'Sai Will Play
Keeping tunnels spread out across the map will ensure you have choices when you want to cast Void Rush.
Cast Burrow before travelling around the map to take advantage of the increased Move Speed and the safety provided by Tremor Sense.
Tremor Sense can warn you of enemies closing in, and is particularly useful when entering enemy territory.
