How to win lane as Kled against Gwen · 50.5% win rate over 202 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Kled | You actually out-level-1 her — she has no poke and one Snip Snip stack, so step up and auto while your mount HP is healthy. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Your W Violent Tendencies shotgun shots beat her single-Q poke, but the moment she drops Hallowed Mist your trade goes even — bait the mist first. |
| Level 3 | Gwen | Her Snip Snip Q true damage and the mist she hides her dash in let her trade back through your re-E once she has E online. |
| Levels 4-5 | Gwen | She stacks Thousand Cuts true damage and pops Hallowed Mist on your every commit — your trap and E-return whiff into the cloud. |
| Level 6 | Gwen | Her R Needlework outzones your entire all-in: true-damage missiles fired from inside mist your Bear Trap and E can never reach. |
| First item | Gwen | Her first Riftmaker/Nashor's flips the trade math — sustained AP and true damage out-DPS your remount and you can't burst through mist. |
| Two+ items | Kled | Your Eclipse/Trinity percent-HP Q can still punish her stepping out of mist — your last real window before her full true-damage scaling takes over. |
Level 1 is actually mine for once — Gwen has no early poke and her Snip Snip Q only stacks once, so step up and auto her while she has nothing to punish you with. At 2 my Violent Tendencies shotgun shots out-trade her single Q, but the second she pops Hallowed Mist (W) my Bear Trap and E-pull whiff into the cloud, so don't commit a full re-E into a mist that's still up. Bait the mist, then trap her when she steps out to farm or auto.
