Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1KledKled's Bear Trap on a Rope plus Skaarl's mounted auto-aggression bursts you and you have no Across the Veil to escape at level 1 — concede it.
Level 2KledHe out-trades you with mounted autos while you only have Q and your Spirit Abjuration heal can't keep pace — don't step up.
Level 3KledEven with your full kit, one Bear Trap grab undoes any poke you land and reels him onto you — he owns the all-in at level 3.
Levels 4-5KledHis mounted DPS and trap re-engage beat your trade pattern through these levels — give ground and farm safely.
Level 6AuroraStanding inside Between Worlds makes you untargetable to outside enemies, so his Chaaaaaaaarge!! engage and remount whiff — your one clean window.
First itemEven / skillYour Luden's/Malignance poke can chunk a dismounted, Courage-empty Kled, but he can rebuild Courage and remount — genuinely a coin-flip skill window.
Two+ itemsKledKled out-scales hard: sustained mounted damage plus a Bear Trap re-engage out-duel you once Across the Veil is down.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Kled owns these levels and you cannot fight him straight. His Bear Trap on a Rope hooks you and reels him in, then Skaarl's frenzied mounted autos shred you faster than your Spirit Abjuration spirits can heal the trade — and at level 1 you are a single-spell mage with no Across the Veil to leap away. Hug the wave, last-hit at max Q range, and do NOT step up to throw a curse he can answer with a grab. If the trap lands, your only out is leaping with W the instant he yanks himself onto you — burn it to escape, not to trade.
