Read from Kled's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against K'Sante.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Even — neither of you commits at 1, and you'd rather bank Skaarl's mount HP than eat his Dauntless Instinct marked autos. |
| Level 2 | Kled | W's on-hit shotgun shots come online and his level-2 stats can't block your burst — first real all-in window. |
| Level 3 | Kled | Full re-E (E in, W procs, Q trap, E back) plus a free mount health bar wins the level-3 all-in outright. |
| Levels 4-5 | Kled | You stack W Jousting Procs and out-trade with remount sustain; his passive chip can't keep up. |
| Level 6 | Kled | R knocks him out of his W dash and extends a re-E onto a trapped target into a guaranteed kill. |
| First item | Kled | Eclipse/Trinity plus Bear Trap's percent-max-HP damage shred his tank HP faster than he can punish you. |
| Two+ items | K'Sante | He out-scales you — at 2 items his R strips resists, isolates you, and beats your frontloaded burst in a long duel. |
Level 1 is even — neither of you wants to commit, and you'd rather keep Skaarl's mount HP topped up than trade into his percent-HP passive autos. The lane flips hard at 2: with W's on-hit shotgun shots online, and again at 3 with Q+E+W for the full re-E, you win nearly every all-in. Land Bear Trap (Q), reactivate to yank yourself in, fire the W procs, and E back out. Bait his W block — if he burns it on your Q or your return dash, he has nothing to answer the rest of your combo.
