Read from Singed's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Warwick.
This is Singed's own plan; across 982 pooled games the lane is Singed-favoured.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Warwick | Warwick's Q heal and passive regen outpace your Poison Trail damage before you have AP — concede early CS pressure and set up the proxy game instead. |
| Level 2 | Warwick | Jaws of the Beast is a 365-range lunge every 8s that heals for the damage dealt, and Mega Adhesive is not online yet — Fling only once he commits. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Mega Adhesive root plus Fling gives you the full combo to punish a diving Warwick, and his Q drain can't out-heal the combined poison tick once all three abilities are active. |
| Levels 4-5 | Singed | Proxy time: Warwick cannot stop you farming behind his wave, and Eternal Hunger's heal and Blood Hunt's chase speed both switch on only below 50% HP — Insanity Potion's regen holds you above that line. |
| Level 6 | Singed | Insanity Potion move speed and health regen mean you run faster than Blood Hunt closes and heal faster than his Q drains — he cannot stick on you or all-in you without his R. |
| First item | Singed | Rylai's Crystal Scepter makes your Poison Trail a permanent slow field — Warwick's Blood Hunt sprint cannot escape it, and every second he spends chasing you he is taking damage he cannot Q-heal fast enough. |
| Two+ items | Singed | Two-item Singed with Liandry's burning through a Rylai's-slowed Warwick is a damage-per-second race he loses — his R cooldown is long enough that you can run the pattern multiple times per base cycle. |
Warwick out-sustains you at levels 1-2 — Jaws of the Beast heals him for the damage it deals and Eternal Hunger tops him up under 50% HP, so a war of attrition loses. Last-hit from trail range and refuse his face-fights. Fling at level 2 is your deterrent: when he spends the 8s Q lunge to step in, Fling him backward and lap him in poison on the retreat. Primal Howl fears you for 1 second on a 15s cooldown, so never chase him with your back to his tower.
