Singed vs Malzahar

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use your wave disruption and proxy pressure to deny Malzahar a calm lane and force him into awkward farm or rotations.
Control the wave tempo to prevent Malzahar from safely pushing and roaming, leveraging your medium early agency and lane pressure.
This is a control vs control matchup where Singed aims to disrupt and force mistakes rather than outscale or roam heavily.

Trading pattern

Use (W) to ground Malzahar before (E) to (E) him into your poison for maximum disruption and damage.
Avoid trading when your (R) is down as your survivability and chase potential drops significantly.
Punish Malzahar when he steps forward to last hit by forcing him to walk through (Q) and threatening with (E) displacement.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (R) is available; avoid extended fights or overextensions that allow him to lock you down.
Vulnerable when your (R) is down; avoid deep proxy or aggressive trades without your combat stats boost.
Beware of coordinated collapses if your proxy paths are tracked; maintain vision and avoid overextending without team support.

Early game

Pressure Malzahar early by crashing waves and forcing him under tower to punish his low early mobility and predictable pattern.
Avoid extended stationary trades and instead use (Q) poison uptime and movement to bait Malzahar into chasing through your poison.
Track Malzahar's Voidlings spawn to time wave pressure and avoid overcommitting when they are active and pushing.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to increase your speed and durability, enabling deeper disruption and forcing Malzahar into bad rotations.
After your first AP bruiser or tank item, pressure waves more confidently to absorb damage and maintain poison uptime.
Respect Malzahar's level 6 (R) suppression; avoid all-ins during its availability and punish cooldown windows afterward.

Win conditions

Deny Malzahar a passive lane by controlling wave tempo and forcing him to farm under tower or miss CS.
Use proxy pressure and (R)-enabled disruption to force bad rotations and create chaos in teamfights.
Drag enemies through your poison with (E) and (W) to punish their positioning and enable your team to capitalize on the chaos.
