Singed

Singed works for whoever can pay him and has no interest in what his formulas do once they leave the lab. He is an alchemist based in Zaun, the chemical-drenched underbelly of Piltover, and the wreckage his clients cause is simply more information to him. Zaun encourages this sort of restless ambition. Its inventors work in a place where poisonous experiments are routine, and Singed pushes that habit further than almost anyone else.

His most notorious product is shimmer, which allowed Zaun’s chembarons to divide the undercity into territories they controlled. That one compound transformed the criminal world below Piltover, but Singed regards it as just one trial among many. Whatever he concocts next is always meant to be nastier than the last, and nothing suggests he intends to change course. He is a hybrid of tank and mage, equally at home holding the top lane or taking the middle, and his mana powers the same toxic arsenal wherever he fights.

In combat he works with the same careless logic he applies in his laboratory. Poison Trail lays down a corrosive wake that hurts anyone who chases him too closely. Mega Adhesive pins enemies where they stand. Fling hurls a target into the air, which lets him drop them into his own poison or onto a patch of Mega Adhesive to hold them fast. His ultimate, Insanity Potion, is a dose he takes himself, raising his combat stats and transforming Poison Trail so that enemies caught in it cannot heal. His passive, Noxious Slipstream, grants a burst of speed whenever he runs past nearby champions, whether they are allies or not, another small trial built into the way he moves through a fight. Zaun’s other well-known chemical minds, including Dr. Mundo and Ekko, live in the same undercity, but none of them are as reckless about who gets hurt.
