Favour timeline — the windows in Kled's game plan

Read from Kled's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Warwick.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1WarwickWarwick's Q heals harder the lower your HP is and you have no level-1 poke, so any trade just feeds his sustain while your Skaarl bar chips down.
Level 2KledYour W shotgun shots come online and out-damage a Warwick who only has Q heal — punish before his ult exists.
Level 3KledYour full E-W-E re-E combo plus the trap slow bursts him faster than Q can heal at level 3.
Levels 4-5KledYou stack W procs and remount off the damage, out-trading his single-target drain through 4-5.
Level 6Even / skillHis R suppress freezes your E mid-dash and the missing-HP heal can flip the all-in, so it is a genuine coinflip — bait the ult or hold E to escape.
First itemKledYour first-item sheen/Eclipse spike plus percent-HP Q still beats his pre-completed-item drain — force the all-in now.
Two+ itemsWarwickHis drain, W bloodrage move speed and lifesteal out-sustain your frontloaded burst, so a prolonged sustain fight tilts to him late.

How to beat Warwick as Kled: the early game

Level 1 belongs to Warwick — you have no spammable poke and his Q heals harder the lower your HP gets, so trading into him just feeds his sustain while your Skaarl bar takes free chip. Hold the line and last-hit. The lane flips hard at 2 and 3: once W is up your fourth-attack shotgun shots come online, and at 3 your full E-W-E re-E combo lands before he has any answer but Q. Land the bear trap (Q) first so he can't kite the trade, then dash in and dump W procs — you out-burst a Warwick who only has heal at this stage.
