Item Build Description
Additional information on the items
STARTING ITEMS
Singed
has many possible starting items, and I want to talk about the ones I think are best. Boots are my personal choice, as you can get a cheese kill at level 1 or 2 with your movement speed from the active. Into lanes where you will be harassed, I'd recommend either
Ruby Crystal
,
Cloth Armor
, or
Null-Magic Mantle
. These are good into champions of their respective types, or
Ruby Crystal
works if you are not sure who is going Baron, or if they do lots of mixed damage.
BOOT ENCHANTMENTS
Boots are a very important part of
Singed
, especially if you need to build them early. For your tier 2 boots, you should either go defensive into games where you will get bullied, by buying either
Plated Steelcaps
or
Mercury's Treads
, or you can also go aggressive with
Boots of Swiftness
if you wanna go fast. For your full tier 3 boots, you have a few options. The 2 best options are either
Protobelt Enchant
or
Glorious Enchant
.
Protobelt Enchant
is really good if you opted not to take Flash, as it functions as a small dash to use
Fling
on people and catch them off guard.
Glorious Enchant
lets you run around a team fight really well, which is really the intention of playing
Singed
. You also may want to opt for
Quicksilver Enchant
, if the enemy team has a lot of crowd control.
AP BRUISER
This is my favorite build on
Singed
, because of the agency you have throughout the game.
Rod of Ages
is an item that keeps you relevant throughout the entire game. The scaling AP, Mana, and Health make you a bit of a stat-stick, and the early first purchase of
Catalyst of Aeons
lets you stay in lane for a long time.
Rylai's Crystal Scepter
is
Singed
's bread-and-butter item. This lets you and your team dominate team fights and the slow also lets you get some picks off with
Poison Trail
and
Fling
.
Dead Man's Plate
has an insane passive on
Singed
as the movespeed not only lets you roam faster, it also lets you run around more in teamfights. The damage on basic attacks is also very useful to solo kill people. Can be swapped with
Force of Nature
or
Abyssal Mask
if need be.
Morellonomicon
works well with
Singed
Poison Trail
, as it constantly procs while you run around. This is also why
Infinity Orb
works well.
TANK
This is boring but is needed sometimes.
Rylai's Crystal Scepter
is
Singed
's bread-and-butter item. This lets you and your team dominate team fights and the slow also lets you get some picks off with
Poison Trail
and
Fling
.
Dead Man's Plate
has an insane passive on
Singed
as the movespeed not only lets you roam faster, it also lets you run around more in teamfights. The damage on basic attacks is also very useful to solo kill people. Can be swapped with
Force of Nature
or
Abyssal Mask
if need be.
Force of Nature
is average on
Singed
, but can be a drop-in replacement for
Dead Man's Plate
if the enemy team has no AD. If you want some more damage, swap this for
Abyssal Mask
Morellonomicon
works well with
Singed
Poison Trail
, as it constantly procs while you run around. This anti-heal is very important on tank singed, as you don't want people out healing what little damage you have.
Randuin's Omen
means those scummy ADC players aren't able to play the game. The attack speed reduction is amazing because
Rylai's Crystal Scepter
lets you stick onto the ADC, while their attack speed is reduced.
SUPPORT
There isn't much of note new item-wise, so just read the tank section for the items.
Zeke's Convergence
is taken because it procs on
Insanity Potion
, and it's very cheap.
Singed Runes
Best Runes for Singed




AP BRUISER RUNES
Runes on
Singed
are EXTREMELY flexible, no matter what you take you will almost never have a bad runepage. This is my favorite aggressive runepage for
Singed
. Conqueror allows you to use
Fling
into
Poison Trail
while harassing them with basic attacks. Once you have basic attacked them 3 times, your Conqueror is fully stacked. For your red rune, I like Gathering Storm. This lets
Singed
scale into a bit of a monster late-game, but you are a bit worse early. You also can run Triumph if you want to stay in a fight as long as possible, or Brutal if you want a bit more lane dominance. For your green runes, you want either Hunter Titan or Spirit Walker. Both of these make you a bit tankier, but Spirit Walker is better early (also should be taken into
Darius
or
Nasus
). For your blue rune, you want to take Pathfinder. This lets you roam around the map really fast (especially when paired with
Dead Man's Plate
. Pack Hunter seems like a good choice, but it is often useless because you won't always be with your team, as
Singed
can splitpush well.




TANK RUNES
Aftershock is the only real keystone for tank singed. It procs on
Fling
, and once you have
Rylai's Crystal Scepter
you can almost always do the damage from aftershock. For your red rune, you take Brutal always. This is because brutal increases your base stats (more importantly base damage), and
Singed
doesn't build much AP in this build. For your green rune, you always want conditioning. This is because
Singed
is a late-game stat-stick, so you want scaling runes if you can sacrifice your early a little bit. Once you get
Abyssal Mask
and
Dead Man's Plate
, you will have lots of armor and magic resistance from conditioning, and brutal will keep you at least slightly relevant damage-wise. Pack Hunter is really good on tank
Singed
, and this is because you won't have much tenacity from runes, unlike in the bruiser runepage. Tank
Singed
also needs to be with a team to do much, so pack hunter will be useful.




SUPPORT SINGED
This is a bit of a strange runepage but is very useful because all those insta-lock
Garen
and
Akali
's force you to play support sometimes. You run aftershock because this is a tank playstyle, and you need to run weakness to get early kills with
Fling
. Loyalty is good in lane and out lane when roaming, as it means you can take a bit of a beating (which you will when playing support
Singed
). Pack hunter is the obvious choice here because the rest of your runes are team-oriented, but you can also run pathfinder if you will roam more often.

Combos
Learn how to maximize the champions potential


This is called a sky auto and is useful in many situations. Essentially, if you are locked onto the enemy champions and use
Fling
, mash your basic attack as fast as you can, and you will attack them while they are in the air. Best used when flinging your opponent into
Poison Trail



This combo is deceptively hard, and needs setup to use. This is best done by putting
Mega Adhesive
on the back of your minion wave, and when your opponent walks up to farm minions, use
Fling
into the
Mega Adhesive
, and it will root them in your minions. This lets you basic attack them, and attack them with
Poison Trail
, so you get lots of free damage off.

This is mostly a reminder, but if you take conqueror, you need to basic attack people.
Singed
Poison Trail
does not stack it well, so you might as well not have a keystone if you don't basic attack,
Singed Matchups & Counters
Detailed information on how to play matchups and counters
He runs. You run better. Consider an early
Oblivion Orb
or
Morellonomicon
to stop his healing. Take ignite.

Early game tips on Singed
Singed
's early game is surprisingly good, with the ability to easily get a level 2 kill with
Fling
plus ignite. Make sure to take early auto-attack battles vs picks like
Nasus
if they are offered, as if they chase (even a tiny bit), you win it. After this powerspike, you basically just need to farm and roam until midgame.

Midgame tips on Singed
Midgame
Singed
serves as a dominant teamfighter, and can often be the sole cause of winning the good ole' 10 person mid. You want to be in as many teamfights as possible, running lane to lane. If you can't do this for whatever reason, try to splitpush. Push in the waves into the tower, then attack the tower until you can proxy the next wave, clear the next wave then return to hitting the tower. This takes towers incredibly fast.

Lategame tips on singed

WTF HOW DO YOU PROXY
This is a question I have seen a lot, and the answer is you mostly don't. It's not good and is only good to clear a wave or 2 after killing your enemy laner.

Is SINGED SUPPORT troll?
This is a question I'll see often in champion selection. The answer is kinda.
Singed
is not a support all because of his
Poison Trail
. This ability is his best and most of his damage, but you can't use it well. This is why
Singed
support maxes
Fling
first because it allows for lots of utility. But this is a very good cheese pick when combined with certain ADCs, such as
Miss Fortune
or
Jinx
.
