At a glance

A real poke war — your Q out-ranges, his Fling punishes. Trade bombs and dodge the answer.

Track: Singed's E — Fling (10–8s cooldown). The flip into his goo — never chase into range while it is up.

Do

  • Win level 1 with raw Q range
  • Sidestep Fling before committing your own poke
  • Use E zones to control where the trade happens

Don't

  • Eat free poke while your Q is on cooldown
  • Burn W while his all-in tool is up
  • Ignore your mana bar in a spam war
