Playing as Kled

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Take aggressive trades

    Take aggressive trades: Skaarl, the Cowardly Lizard (passive) takes damage for you, and once dismounted, you still have your own health.

  2. Stay near your hooked target

    After Bear Trap on a Rope (Q), stay near your target: after a short moment, you yank the trap out, which damages, pulls and slows them.

  3. Fight to remount

    When dismounted, keep hitting enemies: Skaarl, the Cowardly Lizard (passive) regains courage during the fight and puts you back in the saddle once the gauge is full.

  4. Charge from long range with your R

    Engage from long range with Chaaaaaaaarge!!! (R): the longer the run, the harder Skaarl hits the first champion in the way, and your trail speeds up your allies.

Playing against Garen

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Hit him regularly

    Hit him regularly, even with a small poke: Perseverance (passive) only regenerates him if he hasn't taken damage recently.

  2. At range, kite him

    If you're ranged, kite him: his kit has no dash, and only Decisive Strike (Q) speeds him up and removes his slows.

  3. Burst after his shield

    Wait for the Courage (W) shield to end before your burst: the spell starts with a shield and tenacity, then keeps only a damage reduction.

  4. Don't stay low once he hits 6

    Once he hits level 6, back instead of staying in lane at low health against him: Demacian Justice (R) deals true damage that grows with your missing health.
