Smolder Synergies

S Tier 2
Lulu Lulu Lulu perfectly covers Smolder's most fragile phase by giving him peel, tempo, and the freedom to stack without getting punished every trade. The execution is very clear: Lulu neutralizes enemy entries with defensive crowd control, Smolder buys time to stack, and then turns every extended fight into favorable ground through scaling. This pairing is especially strong into single-target dive comps trying to kill the ADC before his real spike. ProtectSupport
Combo
EHelp, Pix!→RWild Growth→QSuper Scorcher Breath
Nami Nami Nami helps Smolder survive lane while still giving him real trading windows despite his gradual scaling curve. The execution is clean: Nami heals and buffs short trades, then her crowd control creates enough space for Smolder to land abilities without overexposing. The pair works very well into medium-poke lanes or into compositions that allow fights to drag out. ProtectSupport
Combo
ETidecaller's Blessing→QSuper Scorcher Breath→QAqua Prison
A Tier 2
Braum Braum Braum gives Smolder an extremely valuable layer of safety against aggressive lanes and comps that want to force him early. The execution relies on discipline: Braum absorbs the first engage, cuts off the dangerous angle with Unbreakable, and gives Smolder the choice to disengage or keep dealing damage depending on the fight state. It is a very good pairing against assassins or ADC-support duos looking to snowball bot through all-ins. ProtectSupport
Combo
EUnbreakable→RGlacial Fissure→WAchooo!
Jarvan IV Jarvan IV Jarvan IV gives Smolder a real teamfight starter, which prevents him from having to overexpose himself to begin fights. The execution is effective: Jarvan starts the action and fixes enemy positioning while Smolder delivers area damage from a safe distance. This synergy is strong in balanced comps where Smolder mainly wants to be the finisher of an engage that is already underway. EngageJungle
Combo
RCataclysm→RMMOOOMMMM!→QSuper Scorcher Breath
B Tier 1
Pyke Pyke Pyke can create fast kills for Smolder, but the duo sometimes mixes conflicting tempos between a very early explosive support and an ADC that mainly wants to stack cleanly. The execution works if Pyke lands a clean hook and the wave state allows immediate conversion, but otherwise Smolder does not always have the instant damage to follow perfectly. This pairing is still viable into fragile lanes, but less consistent than protection- or tempo-based duos. EngageSupport
