Singed is probably one of the most underrated and least-banned champions in League of Legends, but in the right hands, he can be really annoying and powerful at the summoner's rift. If you're looking to play Singed, then you're in the right place, we will talk about the best runes, the best-Singed build, summoner spells, skill order, and much more. Let's start!
Best Singed Build
Singed build is focused on tank items and magic damage items, he's able to deal damage to enemies thanks to his poison trail and movement speed. But be careful, Singed's abilities spend a lot of mana so you have to use it correctly in the early game. In the past, Singed was played in the top lane beside a proxy farm strategy in League of Legends, but it has changed nowadays. Anyway, you may read our guide about what proxy farm is and how to do it.

Best Singed Runes
No singed guides will be completed without talking a bit about the best runes for this champion. As mentioned before, this champion is capable to deal a lot of magic damage to enemies but, being played in the top lane requires some special rune set. Choose the precision tree with Conqueror, Triumph, Legend: Tenacity, and Last Stand. As a secondary rune set, you may choose sorcery with Nimbus Cloak, and Celerity.

Best Singed Rune Shards
The Singed's early game is probably one of the weakest in the game currently, for that reason choosing the right rune shards is so important to survive the laning phases and more if your enemy chooses one of the Singed's counters in the game. Use the following rune shards: Offense (+9 Adaptive Force), Offense (+9 Adaptive Force), and Flex (+6 armor).

Flex | + 9 Ability Power |
Offense | +9 Adaptive Force |
Flex ![]() | +6 Armor |
Best Singed Summoner's Spells
As well as choosing the best runes for Singed is so important, the same goes for summoner spells. In the case of Singed, you can choose Flash and Ghost, this will allow singed to bully his enemies in the top lane or escape in case the enemy jungler is ganking. These summoner spells are good if combined properly with Singed's abilities to slow enemies.

Best Singed Abilities Order
Singed is capable to reach the enemy carry so easily during team fights and stop enemies from dashing with his abilities. For that reason, follow this skill order for Singed to increase your win rate: Poison Trail (Q), Fling (E), and Mega Adhesive (W). Remember, combining Poison trail and Mega adhesive abilities is so powerful and it's not easily countered by any champion in the game.

Best Singed items
There are many mythic items that can be bought for Singed top, but every one of them will allow you to take advantage of his poison trail and make the mad chemist a terror at the summoner's rift. Remember, Singed build is focused on magical damage and heal to bully enemies.
Best Starter Singed Items
As mentioned before, Singed's first stage of the game is really weak, so choose the right starting items to dominate and survive the laning phase. For that reason, Dark seal and refillable potion seem to be the best option for Singed. However, if your enemy has some much poke, then an Insanity potion is perfect.

Best Mid-Game Singed Items
In the mid-game, there are some core items you may buy, for example, Rylai's Crystal Scepter, Demonic Embrace, and Riftmaker. This last one can be changed for Rod of Ages or Jak'Sho, The Protean if you want a more tanky build for Singed top. Singed is a good late-game champion, so avoid long trades during the early game and use these best items to dominate the lane.

Rylai's Crystal Scepter ![]() | Demonic Embrace ![]() | Riftmaker ![]() |
