Poppy vs Kled

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Control the lane by using terrain to threaten (E) wall stuns and hold (W) to deny Kled's dash engages.
Manage medium early agency and lane pressure by punishing Kled's aggressive dash attempts while avoiding extended trades away from walls.
This is a control vs snowball matchup where Poppy must prevent Kled from snowballing early all-ins and leverage anti-dash tools to survive.

Trading pattern

Trade around (W) cooldown; punish after he uses burst autos by stepping forward with (Q) and passive shield.
Use (W) to stop Kled's dash when he commits, then follow up with (E) into wall for stun.
Avoid chasing Kled without terrain angles as (E) stun threat and (W) anti-dash lose effectiveness away from walls.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (Q) tether lands and (W) is ready for burst autos; avoid getting pulled into extended trades.
Respect (R) engage charge, especially with allied follow-up; position to avoid being caught out.
Avoid fighting when Kled is near remount health as he can bait overcommit and turn fights unexpectedly.

Early game

Focus on short trades using (Q) and passive shield near walls to avoid Kled's burst from (W).
Hold (W) to block (E) dash engage rather than using it prematurely.
Avoid fighting away from walls where (E) stun threat is weak and Kled's remount sustain is stronger.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to disengage or isolate Kled's engage, denying his long-range charge advantage.
First tank item spike increases durability for longer trades and peel, enabling better use of (W) and (E) near walls.
Respect Kled's level 2-3 all-in window when (Q), (W), and (E) enable his burst; avoid extended trades or overcommitments then.

Win conditions

Deny Kled's dash engages with well-timed (W) and punish his positioning near walls with (E) stuns.
Use (R) to disrupt Kled's all-ins or peel for carries during skirmishes and teamfights.
Outlast Kled in short trades using passive shield and tank durability to prevent early snowball and reach mid-game control.
