Read from Graves's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Singed.
This is Graves's own plan; across 3,226 pooled games the lane is leaning Singed.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 he only walks up to flick Poison Trail and you have one ability with no E charges yet — neither of you can punish the other, it's a wash. |
| Level 2 | Graves | Your second ability online means you E-in and dump the point-blank 4-shell magazine the instant he Flings or steps up — one Fling and poison ticks can't out-trade that burst. |
| Level 3 | Graves | Full Q-E-W lets you weave the magazine, slow and vision-cut him with Smoke Screen, and detonate Q's cone before his sustain ramps in the extended trade. |
| Levels 4-5 | Graves | Your True Grit armor and refreshing E charges compound across a long trade while his only damage is poison ticks and a single Fling on cooldown. |
| Level 6 | Graves | Collateral Damage catches a dash-less Singed: with only Ghost and Mega Adhesive to escape, R off a wall plus your magazine turns his engage into his death. |
| First item | Graves | Your Eclipse/Youmuu's spike is your peak duel power — punish his stand-and-Fling proxies hard before his drain-tank items exist. |
| Two+ items | Singed | Full-build Singed out-sustains your two-shell magazine, runs you down with Ghost and move speed, and his Poison Trail and Fling ignore your armor stacking — past two items he reclaims the lane. |
"Level 1 is even — Singed just walks up to flick Poison Trail on you, and with only one ability and no E charges yet you can't punish him for it either. The lane turns yours at 2-3: the moment he steps to a minion or commits his Fling, E-in, dump the point-blank 4-shell magazine, and detonate Q's cone on top of him. His early damage is one Fling every 8-10s plus Poison Trail ticks, and neither out-trades that burst. The real trap is his glue: Mega Adhesive grounds you, and while you stand in it Quickdraw will not fire at all — and a Fling that drops you into it roots you on top of that. Check the ground before you dash."
