Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillLevel 1 is your weakest window — no poke and Skaarl's health is best preserved, while his Q armor-shred autos chip you for free, so just farm.
Level 2KledW comes online for the on-hit shotgun shots and your re-E all-in lands before his clone or Q shred can trade back — own this overstep.
Level 3KledFull Q-E-W re-E combo plus Skaarl's free health bar wins almost any level-3 all-in before his armor stacking matters.
Levels 4-5Even / skillEven — you keep W-proc and remount sustain, but his Q shred, E-dash and W clone give him real trade-back if you swing blind.
Level 6Even / skillCoin-flip at 6 — your R wall-knock sticks the all-in, but his R spin-knockup interrupts your charge if you mistime it, so bait it first.
First itemKledYour Eclipse/Trinity proc and percent-HP Q peak here — force every short trade before his armor stacking blunts your on-hit shots.
Two+ itemsWukongHe out-scales: stacked armor blunts your AD shots and his W clone plus R reset out-fight your dismounted form once remount is down.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Level 1 is the usual Kled story — no spammable poke, so I respect Skaarl's health bar and farm rather than feed his Q armor-shred autos. Then 2-3 is mine: W gives me the on-hit shotgun shots and the full re-E comes online, so I E through him, fire W procs, throw the Q trap and yank myself back in, then re-E for the bonus return strike before his clone or shred can answer. The trap I watch for is his W clone — if he flickers it out I can dump my whole combo into a decoy, so bait it before I commit my real all-in.
