How to win lane as Kled against Yasuo · 56.66% win rate over 616 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Neither of you has a real level-1 — you want to preserve Skaarl's health and he can E-poke and slip, so farm even. |
| Level 2 | Kled | W comes online for the rapid on-hit shotgun shots — your burst beats him before his passive flow shield fills. |
| Level 3 | Kled | With Q + E + W you land the full re-E all-in and yank him in; he has no flow shield yet to survive it. |
| Levels 4-5 | Kled | Your Q cooldown and remount sustain let you keep trading; his flow shield can't out-heal on-hit W shots. |
| Level 6 | Kled | Your R slams him into terrain for knockback and stacks, and he can't knock you up while you're mid-charge. |
| First item | Kled | Your Eclipse/Trinity sheen proc plus percent-HP Q is your peak — run him down on every Windwall cooldown. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | He out-scales hard: crit + flow shield + Windwall win the long fight and his E/R punish your solo form — end before this. |
Level 1 is even — neither of you wants to commit, and his E-dashes mean he can poke and slip out, so just farm and keep Skaarl's health bar topped. Your spike is level 2-3: once W is online for the rapid on-hit shotgun shots and you add E, your re-E (E in, W, E back) bursts him before his passive flow shield ever fills. The one thing that ruins it is Windwall — if he drops it as you throw Bear Trap Q, your slow, your yank and your dismounted Pocket Pistol cone all get eaten, so bait the wall with an auto or a feint before you commit the trap.
