Tips For Playing Against Kled

Kled has two health pools. Try not to blow big abilities when his mount is low on HP as it will ignore any excess damage. Poke him down and then blow him up when he is mountless.

• Kled generates courage by damaging enemies with his Pocket Pistol and basic attacks, killing minions, and attacking structures or epic monsters.
• Watch Kled’s courage bar when he is off his mount – when it reaches 100%, he will remount and regain a significant amount of health.
• Kled is much more threatening when he has Violent Tendencies ready.
• Kled can’t cancel his ultimate, using a knockback or knock up will allow you to push Kled’s teammates back and isolate him from his team, thus making him easier to kill.
• Kled has a couple of weaknesses when he is dismounted: His base movement speed is reduced to 285, his basic attacks deal 80% AD and he only has access to two of his abilities. When in this form, gap closing capabilities (for example, Fiora’s Lunge) may hamper his only escape (the knockback from Pocket Pistol)
• You can tell how much courage Kled has the more he glows.
• When unmounted, Kled is poor at running away from fights and as such will usually fight back in hopes of getting Skaarl back. This is very hard for him to do if his Pocket Pistol and Violent Tendencies are down which makes it a prime time to engage with him.
• Despite scalings of % health benefit them well for considering their combined health (e.g.: Grasp of the Undying and Titanic Hydra), it does hinder them as well, making any source of damage based on % health being more effective against them.
  • Items such as Blade of the Ruined King, Bloodrazor and Liandry’s Torment make good item options to counter them.
• Jax is the best counter to Kled because Violent Tendencies is considered an auto attack, so Jax can dodge it with Counter Strike, along with his powerful late game 1v1 potential, Jax can also build items Blade of the Ruined King, Bloodrazor, Trinity Force & some tank items like Randuin’s Omen in order to survive against Kled.
