Read from Singed's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Vayne.
This is Singed's own plan; across 1,509 pooled games the lane is Singed-favoured.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Vayne | Vayne's Silver Bolts deal percent-max-HP true damage with every third auto — before Mega Adhesive you have no way to close on a ranged champion safely. |
| Level 2 | Vayne | She Tumbles out of Fling's 125 range and keeps stacking Bolts — at a 6-second cooldown she never runs out of it, so stop planning around that. |
| Level 3 | Singed | Drop Mega Adhesive first, then Fling her into it — landing in the goo is what roots her. One combo lands and the whole trade math flips your way. |
| Levels 4-5 | Singed | Proxying under her tower forces her to walk through Poison Trail to maintain CS, reversing the ranged advantage that defined levels 1-2. |
| Level 6 | Singed | Insanity Potion's movement speed lets you match her Tumble kite and the MR buys you enough health to absorb one Bolts cycle before Flinging — your clearest kill window. |
| First item | Singed | Rylai's Crystal Scepter makes every Poison Trail tick a slow that prevents Tumble from creating distance; she cannot kite cleanly and every second in the cloud costs her HP. |
| Two+ items | Vayne | Guinsoo's Rageblade accelerates Silver Bolts stacking off every hit — each second you spend chasing her through poison is also a second she is stacking percent-HP true damage, and she outpaces your side-lane threat with enough items. |
Levels 1-2 are genuinely dangerous — Vayne's Silver Bolts strip a flat percentage of your max HP as true damage with every third auto, and your Poison Trail alone cannot threaten a ranged champion who simply walks backward. Do not walk into auto-attack range for any reason before you have Mega Adhesive at level 3; Fling without a root just sends her to a safer position. Farm what you safely can at the tip of your Poison Trail cloud and accept the early deficit — her early lead is real but narrow, and your kit only needs one successful root-fling to swing the trade math.
