How to win lane as Akali against Singed · 46.28% win rate over 1,882 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Singed | Singed out-stats your no-Shroud level 1 and proxies behind your tower — your Q kunai can't reach a man farming where you can't stand. |
| Level 2 | Singed | He W-flings you into the poison trail and minions and kites off on move speed while you still have no escape tool pre-6. |
| Level 3 | Singed | Still no Shroud value into a man who won't stand and trade; you bleed XP to the proxy and can't punish the lane. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | With all three basics you can W-Shroud the fling and the poison chase, but he has zero fear of you and you have no kill pressure — it's a coinflip on who commits. |
| Level 6 | Akali | R gives you a gap-close plus a missing-health execute — your one window to E-on and burst him before his sustain ticks it back. |
| First item | Singed | Even with the Gunblade/Lich Bane spike, if you miss the catch he just out-sustains your one combo — he only needs to survive your energy bar. |
| Two+ items | Singed | Rylai drain-tank Singed out-sustains your single-target combo and permaslows your E commit — his poison and fling run you down all game. |
Singed barely plays the lane against you — he proxies behind your tower, so your Q kunai poke does nothing because he's never standing where you can land it, and he out-stats you at levels 1-3 anyway since you don't have Shroud yet. Don't chase him into the poison trail to force a Q; you'll eat poison ticks while he W-flings you back toward his minions and runs off on move speed. Last-hit at max Q range, hold your E for when he actually steps to you, and accept the XP deficit the proxy creates — the lane isn't yours to win yet.
