Kled vs Gwen

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Kled must leverage his early lane pressure and all-in burst to deny Gwen the calm scaling lane she needs.
Prioritize aggressive trades to prevent Gwen from stacking (Q) and using (W) defensively, as this matchup favors early snowball over late scaling.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing (Q) to pull Gwen in, then commit fully while (W) is active for burst damage.
Punish Gwen when she wastes (W) defensively or before she stacks (Q) for extended fights.
Use remount opportunities to bait Gwen into overcommitting, then punish aggressively.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (W) is up, as it blocks your main retaliation and enables her to sustain trades.
Avoid extended fights after Gwen stacks (Q) and activates (R), as her damage and chase potential spike.
Vulnerable when dismounted without a remount path; do not overextend in these states to prevent Gwen punishing you.

Early game

Force level 2-3 trades using (Q) tether and (W) burst to capitalize on Kled's early power spike.
Avoid fighting dismounted or when (W) is down to prevent Gwen from punishing your vulnerability.
Keep the wave long enough to threaten with (R) engages and chase potential.

Power spikes

Level 2-3: Use full combo of (Q), (W), and (E) to force early all-ins and snowball lane control.
Level 6: Utilize (R) for long-range engages and roams, forcing Gwen to respect your dive pressure.
Respect Gwen's level 6 (R) spike, which enhances her chase and slow; avoid extended fights inside her (W) mist zone.

Win conditions

Snowball early lane dominance by landing (Q) and maximizing (W) burst to deny Gwen her scaling.
Use remount threat to bait Gwen into risky trades and punish overextensions.
Leverage (R) engages with team follow-up to create side-lane picks and force fights before Gwen reaches her item spikes.
