Kled vs Aatrox

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Kled must use early lane pressure to deny Aatrox's sustained trades and prevent him from safely hitting (Q) sweet spots.
This is a snowball matchup where Kled's early all-in and remount threat can overwhelm Aatrox's mid-game sustain and reset potential.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing (Q) pull to force Aatrox backward and follow up with (W) burst autos while it is ready.
Punish Aatrox after he misses his first (Q) cast or when (W) pull is on cooldown by extending trades aggressively.
Use remount threat to bait Aatrox into overcommitting and capitalize on his cooldowns and positioning mistakes.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) sweet spots chained with (E) repositioning; avoid extended trades when he can land multiple hits.
Be cautious when (W) pull is ready on Aatrox, as it can trap you and force you into bad fights.
Avoid fighting while dismounted without a clear remount path, as Kled is vulnerable before remount restores health.

Early game

Force early level 2-3 trades by landing (Q) tether and committing with (W) burst before Aatrox can chain (Q) hits.
Avoid extended trades if (W) is down or (Q) tether misses to prevent being vulnerable while dismounted.
Keep the wave long enough to threaten remount baits and chase opportunities around level 6.

Power spikes

Level 2-3: Use full (Q), (W), and (E) combo to force early all-ins and snowball lane dominance.
Level 6: Use (R) to engage from long range and coordinate with team follow-up for kills or roams.
Respect Aatrox's level 6 (R) which amplifies his healing and chase potential; disengage if he activates it without backup.

Win conditions

Snowball early by landing (Q) and using (W) burst to force Aatrox out of lane or low health.
Use remount threat to bait Aatrox into committing too far and punish with all-in trades.
After level 6, leverage (R) to roam, dive, or force side-lane picks, increasing pressure beyond lane to secure team advantages.
