Playing as Kled
Tips to maximize your impact
- Take aggressive trades
Take aggressive trades: Skaarl, the Cowardly Lizard (passive) takes damage for you, and once dismounted, you still have your own health.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 K'Sante
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Dodge his third Q
After two Ntofo Strikes (Q) hit you, back off or dodge the next one: it becomes a shockwave that stuns and pulls.
- Step out of his charge's line
When he charges Path Maker (W), get out of its line: nothing stops him while he charges, then he rams straight ahead and his dash knocks back and stuns.
- Don't fight with your back to a wall
Don't fight with your back to a wall when he has All Out (R): if he knocks you into it, you go through, he hits you again and follows, far from your team.
- Focus him during his R
Focus him during All Out (R): he loses max health, bonus armor and bonus magic resist, but heals off his damage, so don't drag it out.
