How to play it

✓ DO

Respect his dive

Kled looks to dive you around level 3-4 if you take too much chip — take only short Grasp Q trades early.

One-shot him dismounted

Poke him off Skaarl with ~4 points in Q plus Sheen, then burst the dismounted Kled with Q-E-Ignite-R.

You outscale

Garen outscales Kled in the side lane — just survive the early game and the matchup flips.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never dismount Kled before 6 without Ignite + R kill pressure — he just remounts and gets all that HP back for free.
