Read from Kled's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Irelia.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Kled | At level 1 she has only Bladesurge and no reset chain yet, so Skaarl's mounted stats win the first exchange outright before her passive stacks. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Even lane: your W burst trades with her Q-reset poke, and neither of you fully owns the window until her kit comes together. |
| Level 3 | Irelia | At 3 she has Q-reset to dodge your E, E stun to cancel your W shots, and W to block the burst your re-E depends on. |
| Levels 4-5 | Irelia | Her Q resets off the wave and her passive shred out-sustain your remount through Levels 4-5 if you commit into an up W. |
| Level 6 | Irelia | Her W eats your level-6 all-in spike and she heals it, while her E stun interrupts your R engage attempt. |
| First item | Irelia | Her Trinity/Blade first-item spike plus the W damage-block window lets her take and heal your hardest combo trade. |
| Two+ items | Kled | If lane stayed even she has no reset-frenzy lead, so your Bear Trap percent-HP Q and R knockback let you flank and burst her before she scales. |
Lane is a knife-fight at 2. The instant your W (Violent Tendencies) is up, your fourth-and-onward shots shred her squishy early body, so if she walks up to CS at level 2 you can chunk her hard. Land Bear Trap (Q) FIRST every trade — the slow stops her Q dash-reset from kiting out and lets you E in for the re-E. Once she hits 3 with Q-reset + E stun + W up, the math flips: she can Q off a minion to dodge your E, stun you out of your W shots, and W-block your burst, so don't blind-commit a combo into a healthy wave she can reset through.
