Read from Singed's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Gragas.
This is Singed's own plan; across 653 pooled games the lane is Singed-favoured.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Both champions are CS-focused at level 1 — Gragas's Q has heal sustain but no engagement pattern yet, and your Poison Trail alone does not threaten his HP bar enough to force a response; farm and begin the proxy. |
| Level 2 | Gragas | Body Slam is live and he can dash across your glue before it lands, giving him a real engage plus Drunken Rage's damage reduction — bait the 14-second dash into thin air and commit nothing. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Full kit online — W-root into Fling starts working whenever Body Slam is on cooldown; bait the dash, then immediately run the complete pattern and deny him a clean response. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Neither kit has a decisive edge here — you proxy and bank EXP leads, Gragas sustains on Q and looks for a misfired Fling to punish; whoever wastes their committal cooldown first loses the micro window. |
| Level 6 | Gragas | Explosive Cask arrives and it is a hard counter to your chase pattern — it knocks you away, resets the gap, and burns Insanity Potion for free; track it like Body Slam and do not commit without knowing its location. |
| First item | Even / skill | Without Rylai's his Body Slam simply hops him out before the poison stacks; with Rylai's the slow bites the instant he lands, and Mega Adhesive under his feet grounds the dash entirely — he has no way out of the cloud. |
| Two+ items | Singed | Two-item Singed stacks enough MR and poison throughput to outlast Gragas's AP burst in a 1v1 side-lane — once Cask is spent he has no reset tool and the poison does the rest while you keep running. |
At level 1 Gragas pots and shoves — his Q has longer effective range than your Poison Trail and heals him through your chip damage, so do not stand toe-to-toe. Set up the proxy pattern instead: run behind his minion wave, deny him that wave's EXP and gold, and take the smaller trade of his Q poke against your per-second poison on his casters. Level 2 is his window — Body Slam gives him a real engage that launches him through your W glue before the root activates, so he can crash onto you and trade his W damage reduction against your slower Fling setup. Respect the dash at level 2: burn W to bait the Body Slam into thin air, then commit nothing. At level 3 your W-root-Fling combo fully coheres; if Body Slam is on cooldown and Gragas steps into Mega Adhesive range, root him, Fling him into your Poison Trail, and keep running — he has no reliable escape from your kite once he is in the glue.
