Vlad is a long time-poke char, not really much carry since he has almost no source of burst. Swain is mostly a controller with his cc and has few burst aswell to compensate. If you really want a bursty ap carry who dishes out damage from those 3, then go get Brand. With lvl18 he has 1055 base damage on his spells (not calculating ablaze bonuses) plus he got an ap scaling of 2,3 at all spells together + the 2%of max hp burn from passive. Brand is a really really scary ap carry if you know how to best use your combos. tl&tr get Brand for burst, Swain for CC, Vlad for sustain (I play Vlad mostly solo and not mid tho)
