How to win lane as Kled against Pantheon · 54.07% win rate over 246 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pantheon | Pantheon owns level 1 — his passive blocks your auto, his W point-click stuns, and his empowered Q spear pokes Skaarl's health bar while you have no spammable poke and want your mount health preserved. |
| Level 2 | Kled | Your W (Violent Tendencies) on-hit shots come online and Skaarl's free health bar lets you win the level-2 all-in he can't match. |
| Level 3 | Kled | Your full E-W-E re-E combo at 3 plus the Bear Trap percent-max-HP damage out-trades his early bully kit in any short fight. |
| Levels 4-5 | Kled | You stack W procs and trade with remount sustain while he has no second health bar to fall back on — these levels are yours. |
| Level 6 | Kled | Your R (Chaaaaaaaaarge!!!) gives you an engage and gank-extension tool Pantheon lacks, letting you force kills or roam while you're still favored. |
| First item | Kled | Eclipse/Trinity Sheen plus your percent-HP Q is your power peak — one re-E combo shreds him before his cooldowns reset. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | It evens out at two-plus items: Pantheon falls off but so does your frontloaded burst, and his point-click W stun plus Q poke stall your all-in once he stacks armor. |
Level 1 is the one window I respect — Pantheon's passive blocks my first auto, his W is a point-click stun, and his empowered Q spear pokes Skaarl's health bar while I have nothing spammable to answer. Don't walk into a level-1 fight; soak the wave and keep my mount health high. The lane flips the instant I hit 2: Violent Tendencies (W) gives me the on-hit shotgun shots, and at 3 the full E-W-E re-E combo plus Skaarl's free health bar wins almost any short trade he wants. Bait his W stun first, then E in, Bear Trap (Q) for the slow and percent-HP, and yank in with the recast.
