| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even farm before Kled's W and tether come online. |
| Level 2 | Kled | At level 2 Kled's W attack-speed and Q-root threat out-trade you. |
| Level 3 | Kled | Level 3 favours Kled as his Q-root into W burst punishes greedy trades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | The 4-5 window is even once you can sidestep Q and pick your trades cleanly. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even: both have ults, so a clean-played fight is a wash. |
| First item | Kled | At first item Kled's remount sustain and bruiser spike out-trade yours. |
| Two+ items | Kled | By two-plus items Kled's R engage and remount make a straight side-lane duel his. |
Level 1 is even, but from level 2 Kled tilts ahead: with W attack-speed up and his Q tether threatening a root, his all-in out-trades you, so don't fight into the Beartrap.
