SINGED BUILD GUIDE: How to play Singed for Dummies by Dyrus

Level

Empowered Bulwark (Passive)

Poison Trail

Mega Adhesive

Fling

Insanity Potion

Introduction

Singed is a lean mean pubstomping machine if you've never seen him before. But if he's running at you, you're probably thinking... "OH S*** THIS MOTHERF***ER WANTS MY ****." He is a farmer who can almost get away from everything with the right summoner spells and items/skill aoe/timing/etc. Since he has huge farming potential, he can be a great threat early to late mid game, since he can farm half the map in literally 1-2 minutes and totally screw over your composition. His ult +ghost will make your team cry in the early to midlate lvl 6-14 team fight for dragon because of his DPS output early on. You'd have to have a mind of a mad man to play Singed to the fullest and the farm to back it up. But the greatest part about singed his is laugh, which is why I play him. Because playing champions that are fun, is usually the best champion to play for you, so if you think singed is boring as shit then this guide isn't for you.

Masteries

Explanation:

It depends on user preference in the end, there is no real main singed build it's just how I like to do it.

Runes

Explanation:

The Marks are just there to take space. The Seals are good for procing dodge to run faster. The Glyphs are to take space and to survive longer. The quints are self explanatory
Runes vary depending on user preference and patch changes.

Summoner Spells

I get TP for lane control to heal to full and get back in it fast or for ward ganks cause as a player i farm alot so if im on the other side of the map farming i can tp to a ward and help my team. Ghost+ult is self explainitory. Ghost is the best thing since ice cream

Skills

Passive: Empowered Bulwark

Increases Singed's health by .25 for each mana point he has.

Explanation:

This got nerfed since beta, but this is pretty much the reason why you get mana i.e. catalyst.

Q: Poison Trail

Toggle: Singed lays a poisonous trail which deals 22 / 34 / 46 / 58 / 70 (+30% of ability power) magic damage per second.

Cost 13 mana per second
Range 20

Explanation:

Your main dps source. Unless they have like a lot of MR, people will hate running into your trail, or will hate you for being able to farm everything so quickly with this constant dps aoe dot.

W: Mega Adhesive

Singed throws a vial of mega adhesive on the ground causing all enemies who touch it to be slowed by 35 / 45 / 55 / 65 / 75% for 5 seconds.

Cooldown 14 seconds
Cost 80 / 90 / 100 / 110 / 120 mana
Range 1000

Explanation:

Game changing AOE Slow when all 5 of your enemies are slowed to obivion while your team takes advantage of this to each catch them/run away or just use it for a chance to toss someone to their death. (Picking off etc.)

E: Fling

Singed flings an enemy over his shoulder, dealing 100 / 150 / 200 / 250 / 300 (+100% of ability power) magic damage and slowing the enemy when they land.

Cooldown 11.5 seconds
Cost 100 / 110 / 120 / 130 / 140 mana
Range 100

Explanation:

Great for ganking, picking off people, game changer when you land a good toss or toss someone that just flashed back over to waste their flash for nothing.

R: Insanity Potion

Singed drinks a potent brew of chemicals, granting him 35 / 50 / 65 enhanced damage, attack speed %, ability power, armor, movement speed, and regeneration per 5 for 25 seconds.

Cooldown 120 seconds
Cost 150 mana
Range 20

Explanation:

You can pretty much spam this skill, or save it for fights. Adding it with ghost makes you really hard to run away from or to catch. I often hit this + Q + Ghost in team fights and what's so great about it is that if people target you, your team kills them. If people target your team, you kill them.

Skill Order

Explanation:

Max Q get lvl 1 W/E Max R
W/E is user preference, no real order.
Get E at lvl 1

Item builds

Core Items:

You should start off with a Catalyst as a core item for leveling up and staying out as long as possible to gain exp and farm.
Keeping Catalyst until around lvl 16-17 is important for leveling and level baiting which isn't as strong anymore but still can create chances.
Rylai's is a Must

Item Options:

Getting Merc threads or Tabi depends on who you are facing, and so is the rest of your items.

[items/banshees-veil.png]

Turning catalyst into Banshee's or Rod depending on enemy magic dmg.
If you see no enemy % items or spells for HP then go ahead and build a rod of ages.

[items/frozen-heart.png]

If you see a hero that attacks fast and does a shit load of dmg get frozen heart.

[items/force-of-nature.png]

Force of Nature is optional because ignite can really take a huge blow to your survivability.

[items/sunfire-cape.png]

Sunfire Cape is good

[items/heart-of-gold.png]

If you're laning vs Pirate and can't get any farm I suggest 1-3 heart of gold, and ignore any AP items and go sunfire/randuins as if you were malphite.

Notes

Other things you should note as Singed.

You can beat kass or morg in solo lane easy.

You shouldn't pick singed if you see malzahar/anivia/kennen if you're solo lane.

You can farm/push a lot, you are a power hero early to late mid but your late game isn't as great unless you're outfarming everyone else.

You are a great presence and add pressure to the other team so know when to push or to help your team in fights. Hence the teleport ghost.

You are a really good lane partner for blitz or alistar, since you can push back into tower easy.

You aren't immortal early game, try not to get the courage from last game to your next one, a lot of players make this mistake.

Singed NEEDS farm.

Plant Wards

Base your item build depending on your enemies.

Final Comments

Realize that singed is more basic than you think, and all you really need to do is press Q and farm. Or press R and get W or E off in fights while having Q on, and make sure you auto attack when your trail is on everyone you want it to be so you can add dps.
Prioritize targets with your toss, don't save an enemy by tossing them away.

I actually build singed this way:

Possible start items: Doran's Shield(very strong harass or 2vs1), Sapphire Crystal(standard), Regrowth Pendandt(start against a difficult 1vs1 lane)

If I buy Doran's Shield or Regrowth Pendandt, I will buy a philo before my catalyst, because it gives more sustain at this point and in a lane like that, the gold/time is needed. Your first item after start is boots. If I start with Sapphire, I build straight the catalyst out of it. After that I like to rush both RoA and Rylai's, they are very amazing at Singed. You have high armor and mres from your ult and the AP helps you damage very much until deep deep lategame. After that, get both negatron cloak and chain vest and you can't die anymore. Then I like to build FoN because it is so fucking amazing on Singed and FH to lower the cd and increase my overall utility. Also lower CD on Ult means fun. The last item, well, I feel at this point, you need no more survival and more damage. So I build a Rabadon's Deathcap. This item makes your posion hurt very much and you are a real threat for squishys.
