How to win lane as Kled against Cassiopeia · 50.68% win rate over 148 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Kled | Cass is one of the weakest level-1s and burns mana on every Noxious Blast (Q) poke, so you win the early body-block and keep Skaarl's health full. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | You both want level 2 — your W on-hit shots arrive but she gets Miasma (W) to start grounding, so it's a coin-flip on who sets up first. |
| Level 3 | Cassiopeia | Once she has Q poison plus Miasma (W) grounding she can cancel your E dash and kite Skaarl down between Twin Fang (E) ticks. |
| Levels 4-5 | Cassiopeia | Her stacked poison and no-boots passive move speed let her chip your mount health from outside your all-in range across levels 4-5. |
| Level 6 | Cassiopeia | Petrifying Gaze (R) face-stuns your Charge engage and her W grounds the dash — she owns the level 6 window outright. |
| First item | Cassiopeia | Rylai's/Liandry's gives her a slow plus grounding that cancels every approach tool you have, so her first item beats yours. |
| Two+ items | Kled | By 2+ items your percent-HP Q and remount sustain still run a lone Cass down once Miasma is used — you reclaim the side-lane duel. |
Level 1 you actually win the body-block — Cass is one of the worst level-1s and her Noxious Blast (Q) costs a ton of mana, so step up, soak the poison, and keep Skaarl's health bar topped. The real window is 2-3: once you have W's on-hit shots and the E-W-E re-jousting combo, flash onto her before she has both Q and Miasma (W) zoned. Land Bear Trap (Q) for the slow and the percent-HP tick, yank in, and dump your W shots while she has no dash to peel you off. If you whiff that and let her stack poison, she chips Skaarl down for free.
