Track: Singed's E — Fling (10–8s cooldown). His flip. Q-peel it.
Read from Nautilus's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Singed.
This is Nautilus's own plan; across 3,197 pooled games the lane is leaning Singed.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | He is one of the weakest level-1s and so are you — your passive root makes the auto-trade favorable, but neither has an all-in yet so deny his poison last-hits. |
| Level 2 | Nautilus | With W shield and splash burn online your short trades beat his poison, and a fling costs him more HP than it costs you. |
| Level 3 | Nautilus | Q-pull into passive root plus W burn is a guaranteed combo he cannot answer at 3 — land it before his move speed ramps. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Lanes flatten as his poison and your shield both scale — neither can commit, so hold the wave and your E slow. |
| Level 6 | Nautilus | Depth Charge is homing and undodgeable — the single CC that catches a fleeing Singed and turns your slow into a gank kill. |
| First item | Singed | Insanity Potion adds Grievous Wounds to Poison Trail every 100s, and Rylai's slow blanks your one Q — your tank damage cannot kill a drain-tank. |
| Two+ items | Singed | He flings your carries and outruns your team on poison-trail move speed — play for R peel, not a 1v1 you can no longer win. |
Your passive root plus Q-pull is the whole early game — at Level 1 you are roughly even since you have no all-in without W or E, but your first auto roots him and that makes auto-trades favorable. The danger is Fling (E), down 8-10s: at melee range he flips you backward, and landing in Mega Adhesive roots you, so engage with Riptide slow already on him. By Level 3 your Q-pull into root plus W splash burn wins nearly every short trade he starts with poison.

Start Doran's Shield + Health Potion and back for Executioner's Calling (≈800g) — cuts his healing. Build Iceborn Gauntlet (perma-slow chains) first, then Sunfire Aegis, with Mercury's Treads.
