Kled's abilities

Passive, spells and ultimate

Skaarl, the Cowardly Lizard (P)

Kled rides his trusty steed, Skaarl, who takes damage for him. When Skaarl's health depletes, Kled dismounts.While dismounted, Kled's abilities change and he deals less damage to champions. Kled can restore Skaarl's courage by fighting enemies. At maximum courage, Kled remounts with a portion of Skaarl's health.

Playing as Akali

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Leave the ring for your auto

    After each spell that hits, step out of the Assassin's Mark (passive) ring: your next auto gains range and damage.

  2. Mark before you leap

    Mark your target with Shuriken Flip (E) before leaping with Perfect Execution (R): recasting Shuriken Flip takes you back to them, even after your leap.

  3. Dive inside your smoke

    Cast Twilight Shroud (W) to dive under the enemy tower: inside the smoke you are invisible and untargetable, but an auto or a spell reveals you briefly.

  4. Save your second dash to finish

    Save the second dash of Perfect Execution (R) to finish: its damage grows with the target's missing health.

Playing against Kled

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Move away if he hooks you

    If Bear Trap on a Rope (Q) hooks you, move away from him right away: he only rips the trap out, with damage and a pull, if he stays near you for a short moment.

  2. Short trades

    Take a short trade, then back off: Violent Tendencies (W) gives him 4 fast autos, and the fourth deals damage based on your max health.

  3. Hit him while he's on foot

    When Skaarl goes down, hit Kled without letup: on foot, he deals less damage to champions, and Skaarl, the Cowardly Lizard (passive) remounts him once his courage is back.

  4. Get out of his charge's path

    When he casts Chaaaaaaaarge!!! (R), get out of his path: Skaarl rushes the first champion in the way, and hits harder after a long charge.
