Nasus vs Kled

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Prioritize safe farming and stacking (Q) to reach your scaling threshold against Kled's early aggression.
Avoid giving Kled a passive lane; maintain wave control near your side to limit his all-in opportunities.
This is a snowball vs scale matchup where you must survive early pressure and become a side-lane threat post-level 6.

Trading pattern

Trade only when (W) is available to punish Kled's aggressive engages and reduce his attack speed.
Avoid fighting before you have meaningful (Q) stacks and (R) active, as Kled's burst and mobility dominate early trades.
When (W) lands and (R) is up, force extended fights to capitalize on your durability and stacking damage.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (Q) tether is active and (W) is ready, as he can burst and pull you into unfavorable trades.
Avoid extended fights near Kled's remount threshold; he can reverse low-health fights unexpectedly.
Respect Kled's level 6 (R) engage, especially with team follow-up, as it can lead to dives or ganks.

Early game

Focus on last-hitting with (Q) stacks while avoiding extended trades before level 6.
Use (W) to slow Kled when he overcommits, but don't waste it early when he can disengage and re-engage.
Keep the wave near your tower to reduce Kled's ability to force early all-ins and remount plays.

Power spikes

At level 6, activate (R) to survive Kled's all-in and turn fights into extended trades where your (Q) stacks shine.
Your high (Q) stack threshold is a major spike; pressure side lanes to force Kled to respond or lose objectives.
Respect Kled's level 2-3 window when his (Q), (W), and (E) enable strong early all-ins; avoid overextending then.

Win conditions

Survive early lane pressure by stacking (Q) safely and using (W) to punish Kled's overextensions.
After reaching level 6 and gaining sufficient (Q) stacks, pressure side lanes to force Kled to respond or lose map control.
Use (R) and (W) to force extended duels where your scaling and durability outmatch Kled's burst and mobility.
