Aatrox vs Kled

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use lane pressure and sustained trades to deny Kled a calm scaling lane.
Control spacing around (Q) sweet spots and avoid giving Kled easy (Q) tether pulls.
This is a snowball matchup where Aatrox must leverage extended fights and item spikes to outlast Kled's early all-in pressure.

Trading pattern

Fish for (Q1) sweet spots and use (E) to secure or retreat before extending with (W) to trap Kled.
Punish Kled immediately after he uses (W) burst or misses (Q) tether to force short trades.
Avoid trading when your (Q) or (E) are on cooldown since Kled can disengage or burst during that time.

Danger windows

Respect Kled's threat when (Q) tether lands and (W) burst is available; avoid getting caught in his pull zone.
Be cautious during Kled's remount phase as he can bait overcommit and turn fights.
Avoid extended trades without (R) active as Kled's early burst and engage can overwhelm you.

Early game

Focus on measured trades around (Q) sweet spots while holding (E) to reposition and avoid (Q) pull.
Avoid extended fights before level 6 unless (W) is down on Kled or his (Q) tether is broken.
Use wave control near your side to limit Kled's engage angles and punish missed (Q) casts.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) unlocks healing amp and chase, use it to force decisive all-ins or reset trades.
First fighter item spike strengthens your sustained damage and durability, pressure the wave and force longer trades.
Respect Kled's level 2-3 all-in window with (Q), (W), and (E); avoid extended fights if his (W) is ready and tether intact.

Win conditions

Control lane spacing to land repeated (Q) sweet spots and sustain through Kled's burst.
Use (R) windows and first item power spikes to convert trades into kills or forced recalls.
Apply side-lane pressure after winning lane to force Kled into unfavorable fights or map pressure.
