Jayce vs Kled

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use ranged poke and wave pressure to deny Kled safe farming and control the lane tempo.
Prioritize early snowball by exploiting Kled's reliance on landing (Q) tether and (W) burst windows to avoid passive scaling.

Trading pattern

Poke first with empowered (Q) through (E) and only switch to hammer form to finish trades when Kled is low.
Respect (Q) pull and (W) burst by disengaging if these cooldowns are up; trade aggressively when they are down.
Punish missed (Q) tethers or forced (W) cooldowns by stepping forward and crashing waves to deny farm.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (Q) tether is active and (W) is ready as his burst and pull threaten lethal trades.
Avoid committing to hammer form trades when Kled is near remount health thresholds to prevent baited overcommits.
Respect (R) engage after level 6 by maintaining spacing and wave control to reduce dive risk.

Early game

Start with ranged harassment using (Q) through (E) to chip Kled's health before he can engage.
Avoid extended melee fights early; punish Kled when his (Q) tether is broken or (W) is down.
Maintain mana to consistently poke and prevent Kled from safely using his remount advantage.

Power spikes

First damage item spike: use empowered (Q) poke to pressure waves and force Kled to play cautiously.
Mid-game poke siege: set up vision and fire (Q) through (E) before committing to trades or sieges.
Respect Kled's level 2-3 power spike when (Q), (W), and (E) enable his early all-in potential; avoid extended trades during this window.

Win conditions

Use ranged poke to create health leads and deny Kled safe melee farming, forcing him into risky engages.
Convert poke damage into wave pressure and plate gold by crashing waves after successful trades.
Leverage mid-game poke siege power spike to control side lanes and force favorable teamfight or splitpush scenarios.
