Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1KledKled's level 1 Beartrap on a Rope is his only real threat window — you do not have Q yet and a pull into a mounted W-joust is lethal at one ability apiece.
Level 2TeemoWith Blinding Shot online every trade flips: his autos miss during the blind, you poison him and W back out, and his Q pull is the only thing keeping him relevant.
Level 3TeemoFull poison loop plus two abilities against his cooldown-gated Q — you control every trade as long as you respect the Beartrap timing.
Levels 4-5Even / skillBoth champions have kill threat if they land their key ability first: his Q Beartrap into W-joust vs your Q blind into poison kite — neither decisively controls the window.
Level 6TeemoNoxious Trap covers his R charge paths and your max-rank Q shuts down any all-in attempt — you dictate the pace of the lane completely.
First itemEven / skillLiandry's Angueur DoT pressures his HP through Skaarl's tether, mushrooms lock down the split lane, and he cannot burst you faster than you poison him — but neither side dominates cleanly.
Two+ itemsKledBlack Cleaver and Sundered Sky give Kled the move speed and burst to run you down even through a mushroom wall — the poke lead you built no longer compensates for his raw damage output.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Kled level 1 is the one window where the matchup flips against you — his Beartrap on a Rope has real range and if it lands before Blinding Shot is up he pulls you into a full mounted W-joust you cannot survive. Stay at the very tip of auto range and do not walk forward until you have Q. The moment you hit level 2, the matchup swings hard: Blinding Shot blanks every auto Skaarl throws, his W-joust deals no damage while blind is active, and your E poison starts ticking. Poke, W back out, repeat. At level 3 you have the full poke loop and he has no reliable way to stick to you through Move Quick — trade freely when his Q Beartrap is on cooldown (7 seconds), and never let him bait your blind before his commit.
