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 Yone
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Back off after two Mortal Steels
Get out of his line after two Mortal Steel (Q) hits: the next one makes him dash forward and knocks the enemies hit into the air.
- Avoid his hits in spirit form
During Soul Unbound (E), avoid taking hits: when he snaps back, part of all the damage he dealt you is repeated.
- Trap his return
If you have ground-targeted CC, place it on the body he left behind: when Soul Unbound (E) ends, he has to return there.
- Judge him by his crit items
Judge his threat by his crit items more than his level: Way of the Hunter (passive) raises his critical strike chance, so each crit item does more for him.
- Don't line up with your allies
In teamfights, don't line up with your allies in front of him: Fate Sealed (R) hits every enemy in a line and knocks them into the air toward him.
