Singed vs Akali

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Control wave tempo to deny Akali safe windows for her (W) trades and force her into awkward positioning.
Use your medium early agency to pressure and disrupt Akali's attempts to snowball through extended trades.
This is a control vs snowball matchup where Singed must manage lane pressure to prevent Akali from leveraging her high early agency.

Trading pattern

Force Akali to chase through (Q) poison and use (W) to ground her before (E) to punish her mobility.
Avoid engaging when (W) is active as it grants her safe trading windows and stealth.
Use (E) to reposition Akali into your team or tower when she overcommits after (W) or (E) recast.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (W) is up as it obscures her and enables safe all-ins.
Avoid extended trades when your (R) is down, as you lose durability and speed needed to survive Akali's burst.
Watch for (E) recast commit point; mispositioning here can lead to lethal trades.

Early game

Apply consistent poison pressure to punish Akali when her (W) is down or on cooldown.
Avoid stationary duels early; instead, use (Q) and movement to force Akali to choose between farm loss or risky trades.
Use wave states to proxy or crash waves, but track Akali's movement to avoid collapses.

Power spikes

At level 6, activate (R) to gain speed and durability, enabling deeper disruption and forcing Akali into bad rotations.
After your first AP bruiser or tank item, increase wave pressure and sustain poison uptime to absorb Akali's burst attempts.
Respect Akali's level 3 unlock of (Q)-(W)-(E) combo and level 6 (R) for all-in potential; avoid giving her clean engage windows.

Win conditions

Deny Akali calm scaling by controlling waves and forcing her to trade through your poison and crowd control.
Use (W) plus (E) to punish Akali's mobility and force her into bad spacing or flings.
Reach mid-game with your first AP bruiser/tank item and (R) active to disrupt teamfights and create chaos around carries.
