Akali vs Singed

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Akali should use her high early agency and mobility to pressure Singed and deny him a passive scaling lane.
Focus on creating safe windows with (W) to enable extended trades and all-ins, leveraging Akali's burst and skirmishing strength.
This is a snowball matchup where Akali aims to dominate early and use side-lane picks and burst to win.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by poking with (Q) followed by passive autos, then commit with (W) or (E) when Singed is exposed.
Respect (W) slow and (E) as major commit points; avoid chasing through his (Q) to prevent getting grounded or flung.
Punish Singed when (W) is down by extending trades and applying pressure before he can reposition or proxy.

Danger windows

Avoid extended trades when your (W) is down, as Singed can punish you hard during this vulnerability.
Respect (E) and (W) grounding slow, which can disrupt your mobility and set up dangerous follow-ups.
Be cautious when (R) is active, as his increased speed and durability make him harder to burst and escape from.

Early game

Prioritize reaching level 3 quickly to unlock the (Q)-(W)-(E) combo for safer and stronger trades.
Use (W) to create obscured zones that allow you to trade without taking excessive damage from Singed's poison.
Avoid extended trades when (W) is down to prevent being punished by Singed's sustained damage and crowd control.

Power spikes

At level 3, use the full (Q)-(W)-(E) combo to establish lane dominance and force Singed into defensive play.
At level 6, track (R) availability to execute verified all-ins or escapes rather than forcing blind engages.
After completing your first AP assassin item, increase pressure on waves and trades, forcing Singed into unfavorable responses.

Win conditions

Use (W) to create safe zones for extended trades and all-ins, denying Singed the ability to proxy or disrupt wave control.
Snowball early by punishing Singed's cooldown windows and leveraging your mobility to pick him off or pressure side lanes.
Maintain lane pressure and look for flank opportunities in teamfights to capitalize on Akali's burst and skirmishing strengths.
