Illaoi vs Singed

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use your tentacle zones to control the wave and force Singed to choose between losing farm or walking into (E) angles.
Prioritize side-lane pressure and prepared zones to capitalize on your juggernaut strength and punish Singed's proxy style.
This is a control vs disruptor matchup where you must deny Singed's wave manipulation and avoid chasing through his (Q).

Trading pattern

Trade only when Singed walks into your tentacle range and (E) is available to pull his spirit for guaranteed damage.
Use (W) to slam tentacles immediately after (E) to maximize damage and healing during committed fights.
Avoid extended trades or chasing Singed away from your tentacles, as he excels at kiting and disrupting your zone.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (R) is active, as he can survive deeper paths and extended fights with increased durability and speed.
Avoid chasing Singed through his (Q) and (W) slow, which can set up his (E) for dangerous displacement.
If your (R) is down, ganks become riskier; maintain vision and fight only inside your tentacle zones to reduce vulnerability.

Early game

Establish tentacles early around the wave to create threat zones before Singed can proxy or force bad chases.
Focus on landing (E) when Singed is forced to farm near your tentacles to win trades without overcommitting.
Avoid chasing Singed through his (Q) and instead reset your zone if tentacles are cleared or (E) misses.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to punish Singed and any jungle ganks that commit near your tentacles for multi-target damage and healing.
When you have multiple tentacles established in a side lane, pressure the wave and force Singed to clear them or lose farm to (E).
Respect Singed's level 6 (R) spike that grants him speed and durability; avoid fighting outside your tentacle zones during this window.

Win conditions

Control the lane by maintaining tentacle zones and force Singed to farm under pressure or risk (E) pulls.
Capitalize on (E) to initiate trades and use (R) to turn multi-target fights in your favor, punishing Singed's commitment.
Push side lanes with multiple tentacles and deny Singed's proxy attempts to secure tower plates and create map pressure.
