Who Wins

  • You win early levels 1-3 with your Q combo burst and mobility advantage, but lose post-6 when Kled's R gives him engage tools and his W passive scaling becomes more impactful.
  • His dismount mechanic makes all-ins risky since he gets bonus resistances and a second health bar.

How to Trade

  • Use Q-AA-Q-AA-Q combos for short trades, then E away before his W passive can proc multiple times on you.
  • Avoid extended trades where his sustained damage and healing from remounting can turn fights around.

Wave Control

  • Push early levels to deny his minion Courage generation, but be ready to thin push or freeze when he hits 6 since his R makes ganks very dangerous.
  • Control the wave to prevent him from freely farming Courage from minions.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't commit to all-ins when he's mounted unless you can guarantee the kill through dismount, as his bonus resistances while dismounted and potential remount make failed engages very punishing.
  • Avoid fighting in minion waves where he can easily build Courage to remount.
