Who Wins
- You win early trades levels 1-3 due to your Q movement speed letting you engage favorably and your passive sustain negating Kled's poke.
- Post-6 you still have the advantage since your R executes through Kled's dismount mechanics and your sustain keeps you healthy for repeated all-ins.
How to Trade
- Use Q to gap close through Kled's Q pull, then W to reduce his W damage burst before trading with E spin.
- Disengage after your combo since extended trades favor Kled's sustained damage from W passive.
Wave Control

- Your passive sustain allows you to maintain wave control while staying healthy for engages.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't chase Kled when he's dismounted unless you can guarantee the kill with R execute.
