What happens when I conquer with Swain, Visionary, if I've only played a Patched Porobot and Stupefy this turn?
You will score 1 point.
Swain only checks whether you've played a non-token unit, a non-token gear, and a spell. Checks like that do not care whether they were satisfied by multiple cards or a single card relevant to the trigger conditions.
