Rush the Catalyst, buy the chalice, rush Rod. Of Ages, then buy unholy Grail. Those are the only mandatory items for Swain now. Those two can give you 200 AP and make sure you never, ever need to go back to base. That super extra mana makes sure he can use Bird Form freely for health regen without worrying being OOM after, and the CDR means Swain will always be ready for a fight. Everything else is situational now. High burst AP team? Abyssal. AD carry fed? Zhonya's. A single item changed the way I play Swain.
