Smolder vs Miss Fortune

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on who controls wave state to enable safe (Q) stacking versus (Q) bounce poke.
Smolder wins extended trades and scaling, Miss Fortune pressures early with poke and wave control.
Prioritize stable farming and avoid early all-ins to reach strong (Q) thresholds and execute power.

Trading pattern

Punish Miss Fortune stepping up for caster minion last hits only if enemy support can't countertrade.
Use (W) poke when Miss Fortune groups near minions, but avoid extended trades if (E) is down.
Avoid standing behind low-health minions to deny her (Q) bounce poke and force her off CS.

Danger windows

(Q) bounce on low-health minions punishes poor positioning near the wave.
Avoid trading when enemy support controls brush or can immediately follow your step forward.
Respect (R) channel when combined with enemy CC or narrow terrain; avoid clustered fights without disengage.

Early game

Use first three waves to safely last-hit with (Q) stacks, avoiding low-health minion lines that enable (Q) bounce.
Respect support brush control and avoid punishing last hits if enemy support threatens immediate trade.
Hold wave near your side to reduce (Q) bounce angles and limit her poke windows.

Power spikes

Prioritize reaching (Q) stack thresholds to increase poke and execute pressure, making lane safer.
Level 6 (R) allows healing and burst trades; use it to punish low-health Miss Fortune commits.
After (E) cooldown, your repositioning denies her engage angles and reduces her all-in threat.

Win conditions

Convert safe (Q) stacks into lane pressure to force Miss Fortune recalls or crash waves for plates.
Use (R) to swing low-health fights and protect stacks during objective setups like dragon.
Reach late-game scaling to out-DPS Miss Fortune in teamfights and punish her immobility.
