Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillNeither of you has a kill button at level 1 — the charged Q telegraph lets Singed sidestep the tip range while his poison is not yet meaningful enough to punish through it.
Level 2SingedSinged's Q poison goes live and he immediately starts the run-down pattern — your W-shield absorbs his Fling burst but you still eat the full poison tick retreating toward tower.
Level 3SingedHis W Mega Adhesive can root you mid-charge so your Q cannot be aimed cleanly, and then the Fling puts you back into his trail at the worst angle.
Levels 4-5SingedPhase Rush or Ghost keeps Singed moving faster than your charge-up allows — you cannot threaten a stun from outside poison range and every step you take toward him costs HP.
Level 6SingedYour R Unstoppable Onslaught reaches a proxying Singed, but he Flings you the instant you arrive and his Rylai slow means you cannot disengage cleanly before poison stacks.
First itemSingedSinged's Rylai + Chemtank spike makes his Q trail a permanent slow zone — your W-shield value does not outpace the sustained poison tick in any fight he chooses to extend.
Two+ itemsSingedHis poison out-ticks your shield regeneration at full build and his run speed makes him unkillable without landing a perfectly timed R-into-team setup — use your zombie passive to zone, not to duel.

Early game (levels 1–5)

At level 1 Singed will walk at you with Ghost already anticipating the charged Q telegraph — he is counting on your slow windup to buy time for his poison trail to stack. You can threaten a full-charge Q stun, but the moment he sees the animation he walks out of the tip range; respect that he will not simply stand still for it. Farm with short Q taps and keep your W ready to absorb his Fling damage. Neither of you has a meaningful kill threat here — it is genuinely even on damage, but Singed wins by just not dying and out-sustaining your short-trade pressure with natural HP regen.
