Favour timeline — the windows in Sejuani's game plan

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

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillNeither kit has a reliable Level 1 edge — Kled's Q needs Level 2 and your E stun needs Frost stacks that take a full rotation to build, so this is a last-hit contest.
Level 2KledBear Trap on a Rope (Q) comes online at 11 seconds a cast, and a landed hook yanks you into burst range before your full combo exists.
Level 3KledViolent Tendencies (W) is an auto reset — the fourth swing is the big one, so read the wind-up. Mounted, he has the courage to eat your stun.
Levels 4-5KledYour damage doesn't scale with levels the way Kled's does and your passive resistances require recent no-damage uptime he denies constantly.
Level 6KledChaaaaaaaarge!!! (R) and Jousting (E) give him a gap-close that beats your Q angle, and the R shields him on arrival — he picks.
First itemKledYour Q-W-E chain still doesn't delete a mounted Kled before first item, and his remount speed keeps the courage bar his safety net all laning phase.
Two+ itemsSejuaniSunfire Aegis plus a second tank item absorbs Kled's full burst, your CC chain outlasts his courage regen, and Glacial Prison locks him for your team.

How to beat Kled as Sejuani: the early game

At Level 1 you have W and the threat of Frost stacks; Kled has a hook and a second health bar he has already budgeted into every trade he picks. Take W, farm at the tips of your ice shards, and accept that he owns the brush. When you see the Q animation, walk toward your tower-side wall — the hook pulls you toward him, so lateral positioning is the only dodge, and Frost Armor's slow immunity means the trap's slow never lands even when the yank does. Bear Trap on a Rope is 11 seconds at rank 1: a miss is your whole trading window. At Level 3 your Q knock-up into W double-strike into Permafrost is online, but his W out-damages the stun — go only on a spent hook with Frost pre-stacked.
