How to win lane as Gnar against Singed · 48.56% win rate over 381 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Singed's heal-on-spend and move speed shrug off your Boomerang poke, but his sustain answers your range — neither of you can punish, so it is a wash. |
| Level 2 | Gnar | Your Mini W (Hyper) third-hit proc plus a Boomerang lands a free chunk before he has Poison Trail stacked or a Fling to trade back. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | He has no mana you can starve and you cannot poke him down, so the lane settles into a farm standoff neither side owns. |
| Levels 4-5 | Gnar | When Rage fills, a Mega Wallop into GNAR! pins him to a wall for the extra stun — the only reliable lockdown on a champ this slippery. |
| Level 6 | Singed | His first Rylai's/Liandry's makes Poison Trail and the Insanity Potion run-down sticky enough to start beating your Boomerang kite. |
| First item | Singed | Once he is tanky your single Wallop stun can't lock him, so his Fling-into-poison and proxy sustain run you down in any sidelane duel. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Your Mega bulk plateaus while his proxy sustain scales — let your team peel him and flip fights with your GNAR! wall-ult instead. |
Singed gives you nothing to poke down — his passive heal-on-spend and move speed shrug off Boomerang chip — so the early game is about tempo, not a kill. Level 1 is a wash: your ranged Mini autos out-range him but his sustain eats the chip. At Level 2, slam a Mini W (Hyper) third-hit proc plus a Boomerang into him before he has Poison Trail stacked or his Fling (E) ready — that is your one clean free trade. Never sit in his Poison Trail to line up a Boomerang, and respect that a Fling onto his poison in Mini form chunks your squishy frame hard.
