How to win lane as Kled against Heimerdinger · 50.41% win rate over 121 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Kled | He has no turret pressure at level 1 yet and his rockets are weak, so you preserve Skaarl's mount health and wait — your weakest poke window but he can't punish hard yet. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Even — your Violent Tendencies shots can chunk him if he oversteps his turrets, but his H-28G grenade stun blanks your all-in, so the trade hinges on the stun. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | Three CH-2 Electron turrets plus W rockets wall you off the minions and chip your mount health from outside your Q-yank range — he owns this zone. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | His full turret nest and rocket poke out-zone your all-in entirely; walking in means eating the grenade stun and triple-turret focus, so you can't reach him. |
| Level 6 | Kled | Chaaaaaaaaarge!!! lets you flank the nest, knock him into terrain or tower, and your re-E plus on-hit shots delete him before he rebuilds — your hardest engage. |
| First item | Even / skill | Even — your Eclipse/Trinity sheen-proc and percent-HP Q burst him if you land R, but he just rebuilds turrets behind the wave, so the lane stays a coinflip. |
| Two+ items | Kled | Your R engage and remount sustain let you reach him through the turrets in side skirmishes where a pure poke mage can't kite you forever — you keep the edge. |
Level 1 he just plants a CH-2 turret on the wave and pokes Skaarl's mount health while I have nothing to throw back, so I concede it and hold my health bar. Level 2 my Violent Tendencies on-hit shots come online and if he's stepped past his turrets to last-hit I can Q-yank in and chunk him hard, but his H-28G grenade stun is the one button that blanks my all-in — bait it or eat it before I commit. By level 3 the lane turns: with three or four turrets up plus his W rockets he walls me off the minions entirely and chips me down from outside my range, so I stop forcing and farm what I can reach.
