Depends on the build, but mostly you should be able to oneshot AD carry if you also cast ignite and 1-2 ticks of your ulti.

But it's like with all champs, you try to focus the target with the highest priority that you can reach. Mostly with Swain you should play 2nd line (ostly its like this in every more organized team: 1st are tanks and bruisers; 2nd are ligther fighters and AP tanky casters like Swain, Ryze, Cassio; 3rd line are squishy carry's and support).

Step 1.

Mostly i walk just right after an engage ulti from amumu ect (someone who engaged) and then you should be able to focus some carry or support. If you land your spells (sometimes im not even focusing my spells, and land Q+E on carry, while W to try holding down as many opponents as possible or just to make them separate).

Step 2.

a) Then you must decide to fully engage if your tanky dude has troubles (and you have your Zhonya active - especially i like to do that and the acitvate is while im low HP so that all the time they focused me was wasted) When you do that after the Zhonya you will probably go down from CD and cast another combo and will be going OOM becasue you were in your ulti turn on for a long time.

b) Another option is to back of and decide to hold your ulti on and deal extra dmg (in 5-10 sec it gets rly big and significant) or turn it of if the engage ends, or its not needed.
