Kled combos

the Cantankerous Cavalier

3 Kled combos explained key by key: in which order to cast the abilities, when to use them and what each step does. The main combo is Q › E › AA › AA. Further down: every ability's cooldown, cost and range, and the skill max order measured over ranked games.

Kled combos

The hook

Q › E › AA AA › AA AA

When: An enemy is within trap range.

Bear Trap on a Rope hooks a champion; if they stay hooked, they take bonus damage and are pulled toward you; Jousting dashes you in.

The speed fight

W › AA AA › AA AA › AA AA › AA AA

When: You are in melee.

Violent Tendencies greatly raises your attack speed for four attacks; the fourth deals more damage.

The team charge

R › E

When: Your team engages.

Chaaaaaaaarge!!! makes you charge with a shield and leaves a trail that raises your allies' speed; Skaarl dashes onto the first enemy champion he meets.

Common mistakes

• Letting Skaarl drop to zero for no reason.
• Forgetting that dismounted you have different abilities.
• Using Jousting without the recast when it is useful.

Cooldowns, costs and ranges

A combo only comes back once its abilities are off cooldown: these values (rank 1 to max rank, in seconds) tell how long to wait between two combos. Source: Data Dragon 16.19.1.

Official ability descriptions

PassiveSkaarl, the Cowardly Lizard

Kled rides his trusty steed, Skaarl, who takes damage for him. When Skaarl's health depletes, Kled dismounts.

While dismounted, Kled's abilities change and he deals less damage to champions. Kled can restore Skaarl's courage by fighting enemies. At maximum courage, Kled remounts with a portion of Skaarl's health.

QBear Trap on a Rope

Kled throws a bear trap that damages and hooks an enemy champion. If shackled for a short duration, the target takes additional physical damage and is yanked toward Kled.

When dismounted, this ability is replaced by Pocket Pistol, a ranged gun blast that knocks back Kled and restores courage.

WViolent Tendencies

Kled gains massive attack speed for four attacks. The fourth attack deals more damage.

EJousting

Kled dashes, dealing physical damage and gaining a short burst of speed. Kled can cast this ability again to dash back through his initial target, dealing the same damage.

RChaaaaaaaarge!!!

Kled and Skaarl charge to a location, leaving a speed-granting trail behind them and gaining a shield. Skaarl locks onto and rams the first enemy champion encountered.

Riot's official tips for playing Kled

• Kled generates some courage by killing minions, but gets much more from fighting Champions.
• The last hit of Violent Tendencies deals more damage than the first three - make sure you hit it!
• Chaaaaaaaarge!!! can be cast at a great range. Try and predict where the enemy team will be by the time you reach them.

How to play around Kled's combos

• Kled generates courage by damaging enemies with his Pocket Pistol and basic attacks, killing minions, and attacking structures or epic monsters.
• Watch Kled's courage bar when he's off his mount - when it reaches 100%, he will remount and regain a significant amount of health.
• Kled is much more threatening when he has Violent Tendencies ready.
