Kled vs Malzahar

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use early all-in pressure and remount threat to disrupt Malzahar's push and prevent his scaling.
Maintain lane pressure to deny Malzahar the passive control he seeks, forcing him into reactive play.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing (Q) to pull Malzahar in, then commit with (W) burst autos.
Punish Malzahar's lack of disengage by forcing fights when (W) is active and his Voidlings are vulnerable.
Avoid trading when dismounted or without remount path, as you are vulnerable before remount.

Danger windows

Respect (R) suppression at level 6; avoid fighting when it is available without backup.
Avoid extended trades when dismounted and no remount path is present.
Be cautious if (Q) tether misses, as your all-in reliability drops significantly.

Early game

Aggressively contest levels 2-3 by landing (Q) tether and bursting with (W) when ready.
Avoid extended trades when (W) is down or if (Q) tether misses to prevent losing remount advantage.
Use wave control to keep Malzahar under tower, punishing his predictable push with Voidlings.

Power spikes

Level 2-3: Use (Q), (W), and (E) to force early all-ins and snowball lane advantage.
Level 6: Use (R) for long-range engage and dives, coordinating with team follow-up.
Respect Malzahar's level 6 (R) suppression; hold defensive tools and avoid committing blindly.

Win conditions

Snowball early by forcing trades with (Q) tether and (W) burst, leveraging remount to bait and extend fights.
Use (R) to create side-lane picks or team engages once ahead.
Deny Malzahar his wave control by pushing and punishing his Voidlings early, preventing his scaling and map presence.
