How to win lane as Kennen against Singed · 48.31% win rate over 178 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | You both have weak level 1s — one Q and Electrical Surge autos chip him, but with no stun and a fragile body you don't commit into a champ who just walks away. |
| Level 2 | Kennen | A second Q point plus W on-hit lands a real poke or a two-spell mark stun if he oversteps to last-hit — take it only when Fling is down. |
| Level 3 | Kennen | Full kit online, and an immobile-ish Singed with no dash can't dodge your Q chip or escape the mark chain if he steps into the wave on your side. |
| Levels 4-5 | Singed | His move speed and poison let him sidestep your Q and concede nothing, and committing E here just feeds his Fling-into-poison flip, so respect the window. |
| Level 6 | Kennen | Slicing Maelstrom stun-locks him through the poison and Q-W-E-Flash-R is the one all-in that pins a drain-tank long enough to burst him. |
| First item | Kennen | Hextech Alternator/Liandry's turns the R combo into real kill pressure that beats his pre-Rylai's sustain — this is your peak, force it now. |
| Two+ items | Singed | With Rylai's and Liandry's his drain out-sustains your poke and his move speed plus slow run you down on R cooldown — don't sidelane him, fight with your team. |
Singed never trades back early, so this is your window to chip — Q from max range and let Electrical Surge on-hit autos do work, but never stand in his poison trail to do it or his passive heals it all back. The trap is Fling: if you E-in to stack your third Mark of the Storm and he Flings you, you eat the poison and get tossed under tower. At level 2-3, if he steps up to last-hit, a Q plus W on-hit can land your third-mark stun before he reacts.
