Kled is an aggressive frontline champion primarily played in the toplane. His unique playstyle revolves around his symbiotic relationship with Skaarl, the Cowardly Lizard, providing him with an additional health bar and combat capabilities.

Core Strengths

• Exceptional all-in potential
• Strong early game trading
• High mobility and engage potential
• Double health bar mechanic through Skaarl

Skill Priority

1. Q (Bear Trap on a Rope)
2. W (Violent Tendencies)
3. E (Jousting)

Skill Order Strategy

• Start with Q at level 1 for strong trading potential
• Hold skill point at level 2 rather than immediately taking W
• W auto-triggers on attacks, can be disadvantageous for last-hitting
• Consider delaying skill points until needed for trading or all-ins

Item Build Path

Starting Items:

• Doran's Blade
• Health Potion

Core Items:

• Eclipse (Primary Mythic)
• Black Cleaver
• Death's Dance

Situational Items:

• Guardian Angel
• Maw of Malmortius
• Ravenous Hydra

Build Strategy Focus on AD items since Kled's natural tankiness comes from Skaarl. Prioritize:

• Waveclear items to compensate for weak clear
• Survivability items for dismounted form
• Items that provide both damage and durability

Playstyle Tips

• Aggressive trading in lane
• Look for all-in opportunities when skills are available
• Manage Skaarl's courage meter carefully
• Use ultimate for creative gank angles and team fight engages
• Position aggressively but smart to maximize damage output

Remember that Kled excels at extended trades and all-in scenarios, but requires careful management of his dismounted form to be effective throughout the game.
