Singed vs Gnar

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Singed aims to control wave tempo and force Gnar into bad chases through poison and proxy pressure.
Manage lane pressure to deny Gnar safe scaling and avoid giving him passive farming windows.
This is a control matchup where Singed disrupts normal lane patterns and uses teamfight chaos to win.

Trading pattern

Trade by forcing Gnar to walk through (Q) poison and ground him with (W) before using (E) to (E) him into bad positions.
Avoid direct front-facing trades; punish Gnar’s mini form when his (E) is down and he’s vulnerable.
Use (R) to extend fights and survive Gnar’s poke, forcing him to choose between farm loss or awkward rotations.

Danger windows

Beware when Gnar’s Rage is near mega form and he can engage with (E) or (R) near terrain for stuns.
Avoid deep pressure or proxying without (R) active, as Gnar’s poke and CC can punish stationary Singed.
Watch for coordinated enemy collapses on proxy paths; avoid overextending without vision or team support.

Early game

Use early medium agency to pressure waves and bait Gnar into chasing through (Q).
Avoid stationary duels before level 6 when Singed’s (R) is down and Gnar can punish with ranged poke.
Track Gnar’s (E) cooldown to exploit his vulnerability when it is down for safer aggression.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to gain speed and durability and force Gnar into bad rotations or teamfight disruption.
After first AP bruiser/tank item, pressure waves aggressively to absorb more damage and maintain poison uptime.
Respect Gnar’s level 6 mega form with (R) and wall stun; back off or disengage before he transforms to avoid hard CC.

Win conditions

Win by disrupting Gnar’s wave control and forcing inefficient farm or rotations through proxy and poison pressure.
Use (W) plus (E) combo to punish Gnar’s mobility cooldowns and drag him through poison for teamfight chaos.
Reach mid-game power spikes with (R) and tank items to survive longer fights and zone enemy carries effectively.
