Gwen vs Kled

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Gwen should focus on scaling through extended trades and avoid early burst all-ins from Kled.
Maintain medium lane pressure by stacking (Q) and using (W) to negate Kled's burst and engage attempts.
This is a scale versus snowball matchup where Gwen must survive early aggression to reach her powerful late-game spikes.

Trading pattern

Trade only after stacking (Q) and when (W) is available to block Kled's retaliation.
Use (E) for spacing to avoid (Q) tether and reposition during extended fights.
Punish Kled after he wastes (W) or misses (Q) by committing to longer trades inside (W).

Danger windows

Be cautious when (Q) tether lands and (W) is ready for his burst combo.
Avoid extended trades when (W) is down as Gwen is vulnerable to Kled's retaliation.
Respect Kled's remount window; do not overcommit when he can recover health and fight back.

Early game

Prioritize stacking (Q) safely before committing to trades to avoid Kled's early burst from (W).
Use (W) to negate (Q) pull and (W) burst when he tries to engage.
Avoid fighting when (W) is down and respect Kled's remount threat by not overextending.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to slow and chase, turning extended trades into kills if (Q) is stacked.
Respect Kled's level 2-3 all-in power spike and avoid extended trades without (W).
After Gwen's two-item spike, pressure side lanes and force fights where (W) denies Kled's burst.

Win conditions

Reach your item spikes and stack (Q) before committing to extended fights.
Use (W) to negate Kled's burst and force long trades where your scaling magic damage wins.
Pressure side lanes and join teamfights where (W) protects you from outside damage, maximizing your impact.
