Kled Champion Abilities

Skaarl the Cowardly Lizard

Mounted: Kled's mount Skaarl takes damage instead of Kled. When his health depletes, Kled dismounts.

Dismounted: Kled replaces Bear Trap on a Rope, gains 100-185 movement speed toward enemy champions (depending on level), and his attacks deal 80% damage to champions.

Kled gains courage by attacking champions, epic monsters, and structures, and by killing minions or champions. At max courage Kled remounts with 50-80% of Skaarl's health (depending on level). P

Beartrap on a Rope / Pocket Pistol

Beartrap on a Rope (Mounted): Kled throws a bear trap that deals 30 / 55 / 80 / 105 / 130 (+0.65 per bonus attack damage) physical damage and hooks onto the first enemy champion or large jungle monster hit. If Kled stays near a hooked enemy for 1.75 seconds, he yanks out the trap, dealing 60 / 110 / 160 / 210 / 260 (+1.2 per bonus attack damage) physical damage, pulling them, slowing by 40 / 45 / 50 / 55 / 60% for 1.5 seconds, and applying 40% Grievous Wounds for 5 seconds.

Pocket Pistol (Dismounted): Kled sprays a hail of five pellets in a cone, dealing 35 / 50 / 65 / 80 / 95 (+0.8 per bonus attack damage) damage to all enemies that intercept the pellets, and dashing in the opposite direction. Enemies hit take only 20% bonus damage per pellet beyond the first.

Each pellet that hits an enemy champion restores 5 Courage.

Kled stores ammo every few seconds, up to a maximum of 2. Kled will also store ammo while mounted. Q

Violent Tendencies

Passive: Every 14 / 12.5 / 11 / 9.5 / 8 seconds, Kled's next attack grants 150% attack speed for 4 attacks or 4 seconds. The fourth hit deals an additional 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 plus 4.5 / 5 / 5.5 / 6 / 6.5% (+5% per 100 bonus attack damage) max health as physical damage. W

Jousting

Kled dashes, dealing 35 / 60 / 85 / 110 / 135 (+0.65 per bonus attack damage) physical damage to enemies he passes through. If this ability hits an enemy champion or large jungle monster, Kled gains 50% movement speed for 1 second and can recast within 0.5 seconds to dash back through the same target. E

Chaaaaaaaarge!!!

Kled charges toward an area, leaving a trail that grants allies increasing movement speed. While charging and for 2 seconds after, Kled gains up to 200 / 300 / 400 (+3.0 per bonus attack damage). Skaarl rams the first enemy champion encountered, dealing up to 12 / 15 / 18% (+12% per 100 attack damage) max health as physical damage and briefly knocking back (depending on distance travelled).

Kled Tips and Tricks

Kled is a strong duelist early on, so take advantage of his potential by trading with the enemy as often as possible. If you know the enemy can't match your damage, don’t hesitate to play aggressively. Kled's roaming potential is also key, especially with his Ultimate. If you're ahead, you can recall and use your Ultimate to assist other lanes, like helping the bot lane secure kills. Extended trades will always favor Kled, so prioritize these over short trades when you can. Ideally, look for opportunities to trade around your W for the most efficient damage.

Best Build, Runes, and Items for Kled Top

For summoner spells, Flash and Ignite are optimal for Kled, providing both mobility and kill pressure in lane. In terms of runes, Conqueror is the best keystone for stacking damage over extended trades, followed by Triumph, Legend: Alacrity, and Last Stand for more sustain and power during fights. For the secondary tree, Bone Plating offers extra durability against burst damage, while Demolish helps you push and take down turrets faster. Rune shards should focus on Attack Speed in offense, Adaptive Force in flex, and Health Scaling in defense, though this can be adjusted based on the matchup.

For items, start with Eclipse for early lethality and damage, followed by Plated Steelcaps for defense against AD-heavy teams. Profane Hydra provides sustain and extra damage, while Voltaic Cyclosword helps you dish out even more damage. Finish your build with Lord Dominik's Regards to shred tankier enemies and Sterak's Gage for extra survivability in team fights.

Alternative Build

If you’re looking for a different approach, Flash and Teleport work well for map control and split-pushing. Keep Conqueror as your keystone, and stick with Triumph, Legend: Alacrity, and Last Stand for your primary runes. For your secondary tree, Demolish and Bone Plating will help with turret pressure and tanking. Start with Titanic Hydra for more health and damage, then proceed with Plated Steelcaps and Black Cleaver for armor shredding. For the final items, consider Sterak's Gage, Sundered Sky, and Guardian Angel for extra durability and damage.

Off-Meta Build

For a more off-meta approach, Flash and Ignite remain solid summoner picks. Use Conqueror as your keystone, paired with Triumph, Legend: Alacrity, and Last Stand in the primary tree. Demolish and Bone Plating will work well in the secondary tree. Start with Ravenous Hydra for sustain and damage, and follow up with Plated Steelcaps. Eclipse is a good third item to increase your burst potential, followed by Lord Dominik’s Regards and Voltaic Cyclosword. For the final touches, Immortal Shieldbow can provide more lifesteal and protection in critical moments.

Situational Kled Runes and Items

Depending on the context of the game, you may need to adjust your rune and item choices. If you’re up against a tanky champion, consider taking Armor or Magic Resist as your rune shards. If you're dealing with a heavy poke champion, items like Thornmail or Randuin's Omen could be good situational picks. Always evaluate the state of the game and adapt your build to meet the needs of your team and the challenges posed by the enemy.
