Kled vs Jayce

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use early all-in pressure and remount threat to deny Jayce a calm ranged poke lane.
Control lane tempo to force Jayce into melee form where you can engage aggressively.
This is a snowball matchup where Kled must leverage early agency to prevent Jayce's poke from dictating lane state.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing (Q) to pull Jayce in and commit when (W) is ready for burst damage.
Punish Jayce's hammer form commits by counter-engaging before he can disengage with (E).
Avoid trading when (W) is on cooldown or you are dismounted without a remount path to prevent being vulnerable.

Danger windows

Respect Jayce's empowered (Q) poke through (E) as it can chunk your health and deny melee trades.
Avoid fighting while dismounted before remount as you are vulnerable to Jayce's poke and knockback.
Be cautious when (W) is forced down; Jayce can punish predictable burst cooldowns or disengage with (E) knockback.

Early game

Aggressively seek level 2-3 trades using (Q) tether and (W) burst to punish Jayce before he stabilizes.
Avoid extended trades if (W) is down or (Q) tether misses to prevent being poked down.
Use wave control to create long lanes that favor your engage and chase potential.

Power spikes

Level 2-3: Use (Q), (W), and (E) to force early all-ins and snowball lane advantage.
Level 6: Use (R) to engage from long range with team follow-up for roams and dives.
Respect Jayce's first damage item spike and mid-game poke siege; avoid extended trades when his empowered (Q) through (E) is available.

Win conditions

Snowball lane by landing (Q) and timing (W) burst to force Jayce low or out of lane.
Use remount threat to bait Jayce into overcommitting, then punish with extended trades.
Utilize (R) for side-lane pressure and team engages once ahead to convert lane dominance into map control.
