Kled Top guide
Kled top rides Skaarl, the Cowardly Lizard (passive) and fights around Bear Trap on a Rope (Q), Violent Tendencies (W), and Jousting (E): hook a target with Bear Trap on a Rope, dash in with Jousting, then burn the four accelerated attacks of Violent Tendencies while Skaarl's health absorbs the return damage.
The build
Rune page: Conqueror, Triumph, Legend: Alacrity, and Last Stand (Precision), with Demolish and Bone Plating (Resolve). Summoners: Flash and Ignite. Skill order opens Bear Trap on a Rope (Q) at level 1, then maxes Bear Trap on a Rope (Q) first with Jousting (E) taking an early point before Violent Tendencies (W) comes second. Starter: Doran's Blade and a Health Potion, into Plated Steelcaps. Core build: Titanic Hydra, Hullbreaker, and Overlord's Bloodmail, with Black Cleaver, Profane Hydra, and Sterak's Gage as later options.
Ability mechanics
Skaarl absorbs damage while mounted; once her health empties, Kled dismounts, deals less damage to champions, and Bear Trap on a Rope (Q) is replaced by Pocket Pistol, a ranged blast that knocks him back and restores courage. Violent Tendencies (W) grants massive attack speed for four attacks, with a heavier fourth hit. Jousting (E) dashes with a speed burst and can be recast to dash back through the same target. Chaaaaaaaarge!!! (R) charges Kled and Skaarl to a location, leaving a speed trail and a shield, with Skaarl ramming the first enemy champion it reaches.
Matchups
Hardest matchups by win rate: Gangplank, Sett, Garen, Darius, Jax. Best matchups: Renekton, Yone, Aatrox.
