Akali vs Kled

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Akali should leverage high early agency and lane pressure to deny Kled a passive lane and snowball through aggressive trades.
Focus on using (W) to create safe windows for extended trades and all-ins, exploiting Kled's reliance on melee contact and remount mechanics.

Trading pattern

Start trades with (Q) poke and passive autos, then commit with (W) or (E) when Kled is exposed and (Q) tether is broken.
Punish Kled immediately after he uses (W) burst or misses (Q) tether by extending trades inside your (W) shroud.
Avoid committing when (W) is down or if Kled is near remount, as overextension can be punished hard.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (Q) tether is active and (W) burst is ready; avoid extended trades during this window.
Respect Kled's remount state as he can reverse low-health fights; avoid overcommitting when he is near remount.
Watch for (R) engage path and be ready to disengage or reposition to avoid forced fights.

Early game

Use level 1-3 to farm safely and prepare for the level 3 (Q)-(W)-(E) combo to start strong trades.
Avoid extended fights before level 3 when (W) and (E) are not available to safely trade.
Track (Q) tether and avoid getting pulled into his burst range early.

Power spikes

At level 3, use the unlocked (Q)-(W)-(E) combo for safer, stronger trades and all-ins.
Respect Kled's level 2-3 power spike when (Q), (W), and (E) enable his early all-ins; avoid getting caught by (Q) pull.
At level 6, use (R) for verified all-ins or escapes and respect (R) engage by disengaging or repositioning.

Win conditions

Use (W) to create safe windows for trades and all-ins, denying Kled early snowball and remount opportunities.
Exploit Kled's vulnerability after forced (W) cooldowns or missed (Q) tethers by extending trades and wave pressure.
Reach level 6 and item spikes to pressure side lanes, execute burst all-ins, and leverage (R) for picks or defensive resets.
