Read from Singed's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Kassadin.
This is Singed's own plan; across 799 pooled games the lane is leaning Singed.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Singed | Kassadin has no Riftwalk and his Q has a cast time — run Poison Trail through him and bank free damage before he can respond. |
| Level 2 | Singed | Fling plus Mega Adhesive roots him in the poison cloud with zero escape tool — punish any step-up before his mana sustain catches up. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Both kits are fully online but Kassadin's silence neutralizes your run-through momentum — commit only when you can guarantee the Fling lands first. |
| Levels 4-5 | Kassadin | Kassadin's proxy answer is to freeze and call for his jungler — respect the gank angle and shift to the side-lane and proxy game instead of direct fights. |
| Level 6 | Kassadin | Riftwalk is up every 2-5s so there is no cooldown to wait for — lead with Mega Adhesive, grounded means the blink will not cast, then Fling him back in. |
| First item | Kassadin | His Hextech or Luden's spike lets him burst through your Insanity Potion — stop forcing 1v1s and use Rylai's slow to control spacing in teamfights. |
| Two+ items | Kassadin | Full AP Kassadin Riftwalks into melee range, bursts you before Poison Trail ramps, and exits — never 1v1 him now; split a separate lane and force macro decisions. |
Kassadin before level 6 is one of the weakest melee threats in the game, and you are designed to prey on exactly that profile. Run Poison Trail directly through him at level 1 — his Q silence has mana cost and a cast time, so you can often complete a full run-past before it lands, and he takes the damage anyway. At level 2, the moment Fling is up, look for him to step forward for a last-hit: drop Mega Adhesive to root him in the cloud, Fling him back toward your tower, then keep running so the poison ticks all the way. He cannot all-in you, cannot escape a Fling at this stage, and cannot sustain through repeated run-pasts the way a real early laner can.
