How to win lane as Gwen against Kled · 52.97% win rate over 185 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Kled | Mounted Kled's Bear Trap on a Rope pull and Violent Tendencies on-hits out-stat a level-1 Gwen with no Hallowed Mist and no E reset — just last-hit. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | You pick up a real ability rank but you're still soft with no mist; farm rather than fight unless his Bear Trap is on cooldown. |
| Level 3 | Gwen | Q-and-E lets you poke-and-reset, and once you snip Kled off Skaarl his frail dismounted form melts to your %-max-HP and true-damage Snip Snip!. |
| Levels 4-5 | Gwen | You out-trade a Kled who's burned Bear Trap on a Rope — bait the pull, E in behind it and snip him off his mount. |
| Level 6 | Gwen | Needlework plus Hallowed Mist beats his all-in: drop W untargetable as his Chaaaaaaaarge!!! or mounted dash commits and the on-hits whiff while you keep snipping. |
| First item | Gwen | Riftmaker/Nashor's is your peak — %-max-HP Snip and heal-on-damage win the extended duel his front-loaded mounted kit can't. |
| Two+ items | Kled | Kled out-scales: Skaarl HP regen and Violent Tendencies ramp at 2+ items and Chaaaaaaaarge!!! flanks your mist — close the game before this. |
Kled owns the first levels — mounted, his Bear Trap on a Rope pulls you in and his Violent Tendencies on-hits out-stat a Gwen who has no Hallowed Mist and no E dash to escape yet. Do not contest the early skirmish: last-hit at the tip of Snip Snip! and eat a little poke, because his mounted all-in is far scarier than yours right now. The one thing to track is Bear Trap on a Rope — if it's on cooldown he can't pull you, and that's the only window you even think about trading in.
