Singed vs Illaoi

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use wave control and proxy pressure to deny Illaoi a calm scaling lane and force her into awkward farming positions.
Maintain medium lane pressure by breaking Illaoi's tentacle zones and avoiding stationary duels that favor her.

Trading pattern

Avoid direct front-facing trades; force Illaoi to chase through your (Q) poison for damage.
Use (W) to ground her and prevent her from escaping your (E).
Punish Illaoi when she misses (E) by stepping forward with sustained poison damage and disruption.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Illaoi lands (E) near tentacles, as this sets up her strongest trades and all-ins.
Avoid fighting inside her tentacle zones, especially after level 6 when (R) is active.
When your (R) is down, reduce deep pressure and avoid extended fights to minimize risk of being punished.

Early game

Focus on controlling waves early to prevent Illaoi from establishing tentacles and landing (E).
Avoid fighting near her tentacles and use (Q) to punish her when she tries to zone you.
Use (W) to ground and slow Illaoi if she attempts to engage, then follow up with (E) to disrupt her positioning.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to gain speed and durability, enabling deeper pressure and forcing Illaoi into bad rotations.
After your first AP bruiser or tank item, increase wave pressure and absorb more damage to maintain poison uptime.
Respect Illaoi's level 6 (R) as it enables strong all-ins inside tentacle zones; avoid committing when it is available.

Win conditions

Disrupt Illaoi's normal lane patterns by controlling waves and proxying to force her into inefficient farming.
Use (W) and (E) to drag her through your poison and into bad spacing, punishing her low mobility.
Reach mid-game durability and speed spikes to survive longer fights and create chaos in teamfights, zoning Illaoi and her team away from carries.
