Read from Singed's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Volibear.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Volibear | Thundering Smash is bonus move speed into a stun on his next attack, and Frenzied Maul heals it all back — concede the level-1 auto trades entirely and just farm. |
| Level 2 | Volibear | Frenzied Maul heals him every 5 seconds off the damage he deals, so level-2 trades into your Fling still net him health — use Fling to escape, not to kill. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Full kit online and trades stay even: Sky Splitter shields him if he stands in his blast, so Mega Adhesive into Fling punishes overextension, not a kill. |
| Levels 4-5 | Singed | Proxying starts now — Ghost lets you outrun Thundering Smash and tax waves faster than he can respond, banking the gold advantage you need. |
| Level 6 | Singed | Insanity Potion puts Grievous Wounds on Poison Trail, so Frenzied Maul stops healing him back — run through him and he takes far more than he recovers. |
| First item | Even / skill | Rylai's Crystal Scepter slow on every Poison Trail tick prevents him walking out of the cloud to heal — his natural sustain is completely neutralized. |
| Two+ items | Singed | Two items in, your split-push forces resource decisions he cannot win; his R tower-disable is a zoning tool, not a kill window if you proxy away from it. |
Thundering Smash is the entire early threat — it is bonus move speed toward you, not a dash, and the stun lands on his next attack, so the wind-up is your cue to walk. Frenzied Maul then heals the trade back every 5 seconds. At level 1 do not step into melee to lay Poison Trail; stand back and last-hit, because he wins any auto-trade cleanly. At level 2 Fling exists but he closes anyway, so use it defensively: put him in the air and run rather than hunting a kill. Your job at levels 1-3 is to hand him nothing while you farm the gold to proxy.

Start Doran's Ring + 2 Health Potions and back for Oblivion Orb (≈800g) — cuts his healing. Build Rylai's Crystal Scepter (perma-slow poison) first, then Riftmaker / Liandry's, with Sorcerer's Shoes.
