Who is Jericho Swain? - Notes From Runeterra #008
First of all: This post DOES NOT contain all info available on Swain. He has so much lore and ties in with so many champions, it would be too much to write down and also probably not too interesting. This text is here to tell you some important pieces of his lore, bunch of fun facts and his general influence around the world of Runeterra. Source of most the info: Leagueoflegends fandom com.
Okay, let's do this.

- Swain has several titles and names, these being:
- The Noxian Grand General
- The Master Tactician
- Grand General Swain
- The Demon of Secrets (Raum)
- Trifarix Leader of Vision
- Warlock
If you are wondering what the Trifarix Leader of Visions means, basically Noxus is ruled by three people: An unknown women implied to be Leblanc, Darius and Swain. While Darius for example represents strength/might, Swain represents vision.
- He has a pet raven named Beatrice.
- The six-eyed ravens around him are not actual ravens but rather manifestation of his demonic power.
- Irelia cut off Swain's left arm during the Battle of the Placidium.
- Draven, yes, DRAVEN was integral to Swain’s plan to depose Boram Darkwill and was considered a friend/ close ally by Swain.
- Swain and Leblanc see each other as rival, lover and nemesis.
- Swain killed Leblanc with his own hand, however she later reappeared which has potentially scared or enraged Swain.
- Swain always keeps an eye on LeBlanc who is planning his downfall.
- As Swain got Raum (His Demon) from deep inside of the Immortal Bastion, it is likely Raum used to work for Mordekaiser.
- Swain can see what the demon revealed due to part will power, part intelligence, part ruthlessness, part balls. (This is how it is exactly written in the wiki)
- Swain has close ties with The Black Rose, having obtained Sion from them. He is currently trying to take down the organization that poses a threat to his rule.
- Swain is somewhat interested in Sona's etwahl. He may also be a fan of her performance.
- Swain plays a Vastayan strategy game called Xa'h.
- It's similar to chess, go, etc. Each of the pieces Swain uses are carved from something with metaphorical or sentimental value. He values reminders. The pieces can be lost if they're captured (kind of like pogs). He's willing
I often run 2v2 with a friend, running allies where I commonly play either Brits or Sov. I cannot for the life of me counter a combined arms force where the core unit is Panthers when they've got Panzer Tactician. Many times I'd get close enough to killing their first Panther only for it to escape with Blitz+Smoke, I use Attack-ground but my luck with accuracy could not be any worse.
Any suggestible strategies I can use to stop an escaping Panther before it vets up to game ending proportions? Alternative ways to diving it? (Again this is with a combined arms force, which means AT-guns and Faust-capable infantry exist), God forbid they do this with a heavy tank.
My most successful attempts often involved throwing away T-34s or M10s to dive it but the armor often just bounces it unless I'm lucky enough to not get snared.
EDIT: a lot of players seem to think I am using M10 as AT so let me clarify. As a Brits main I transition from AT gun to either Firefly or Centaur depending on game scenario, often getting a second Firefly or a Comet if I go for Hammer tactics. My favourite doctrines are Royal Engineers, Mobile Assault, and lastly the doctrine in question, Lend Lease. My sole use for M10 Achilles is diving Axis rocket artillery as losing an Achilles after killing their Arty nets me positive bleed vs losing a Cromwell, along with it having 2 speed boosts and being relatively fast. Again, I DO NOT USE M10 AS AT. Regardless, this is not a post about the M10 so please keep focused on the question at hand.
Had these on my account for forever, not really sure what they’re worth but shoot me an offer
Also have pcc tactician black mainframe and 1500c or zephyr uncert black mainframe and 2000c to offer
I have an idea for an Aasimar who is a general of some kind that uses both wits, strategy, support, and pure might in combat.
I might use them in a Curse of Strahd game so I’d like the build to be effective between levels 1-10.
Any suggestions? My only ideas are Battlemaster Fighter multiclassed into Order Cleric.

Friend looking for striker pink items Friend also looking for goalkeeper OEMS
thanks!
can also take non-cert + credits for these
Not sure if I'm late to the party and everyone knows this already but figured I'd share.
Anyway, you can get an insane duration in the silverback when close to tactician and a carrier is nearby
Thanks for reading! 💚🍊
Hi! I played with a mix party until Act 2 like three times already, dropped every one of them unfortunately. Then finally finished the game with a full physcial party on tactician, now I am planning to do the same with a full magic party. I decided to give every 4 character a diffrent element, thought it would be fun but as you can expect; especially Glacial Guardian and Summoner of Sparks nullifies themselves constantly. I know they are not the most synergying builds but both of them seemed really fun so I had to try. Do you have any advices? Can they overcome this opposition? Should I keep playing, or should I build my party again?
If anyone knows who has any then lmk :)
