Guide to Countering Kled as Zilean

Tips for Playing as Zilean against Kled

Time Warp is an effective way to enable allies to finish off enemies, or escape from a losing battle.

Chronoshift is a powerful deterrent to attacking your carries, but casting Chronoshift too early in a fight can cause the enemy to switch targets too soon, making it less effective.

You can combine the use of Time Bomb and Rewind to place two Time Bombs on a target quickly. Placing the second bomb will detonate the first and stun all nearby enemies.

Advice to Win Against Kled

Watch Kled's courage bar when he's off his mount - when it reaches 100%, he will remount and regain a significant amount of health.

Kled is much more threatening when he has Violent Tendencies ready.
