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 against Kled

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

When Kled loses Skaarl, DON'T LET HIM auto-attack: every auto gives him courage back. Zone him or flee.

2

His R is a straight-line engage: side-step laterally because he can't turn once launched.

3

Mounted Q has a tether — move out of range before the pull to avoid being dragged back.

4

Kled without Skaarl is very squishy: burst him quickly before he remounts.
