Kled vs Vladimir

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Kled must pressure Vladimir early to deny his calm scaling and prevent safe farming.
Use high early lane pressure and remount threat to force Vladimir into defensive play and avoid passive lane states.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing (Q) to pull Vladimir in, then commit with (W) burst autos before his (W) is available.
Punish Vladimir's long (W) cooldown by forcing trades immediately after he uses it.
Avoid trading when (W) is down or (Q) tether is broken, as all-in reliability drops significantly.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (W) is available as it grants untargetability and slows, negating your engage.
Avoid fighting when dismounted without a clear remount path, as you are vulnerable.
Respect Vladimir's level 6 (R) burst potential and avoid extended trades during this window.

Early game

Aggressively trade at level 2-3 using (Q) tether and (W) burst when ready to force (W) cooldown.
Avoid extended trades when (W) is down or if (Q) tether misses to prevent vulnerability while dismounted.
Keep wave long enough to chase and use remount to bait Vladimir into overcommitting.

Power spikes

Level 2-3: Use (Q), (W), and (E) to force early all-ins and snowball lane advantage.
Level 6: Use (R) for long-range engage and team follow-up to create picks or dives.
Respect Vladimir's level 6 (R) burst window and his first completed AP item power spike by playing cautiously and punishing cooldowns.

Win conditions

Snowball lane by forcing (Q) tether trades and bursting with (W) before Vladimir can respond.
Use remount threat to bait Vladimir into overcommitments and punish with extended fights.
Leverage (R) engages with team follow-up to create side-lane picks and extend lead into mid-game pressure.
