Statistical Matchup Analysis

Aatrox dominates the meta (1st most popular, 9.1% pick rate) and regularly clashes with Kled (2.6% pick rate). Understanding this common matchup forms the foundation of consistent gameplay for one of top lane's current powerhouses. Even tiers, uneven results: Both champions sit at B+-tier, but Aatrox claims a meaningful 50.9% vs 49.1% advantage. Aatrox's kit synergizes better in this specific head-to-head matchup. Optimize for consistency: Grasp of the Undying paired with Demolish (75.4% win rate, 1.9% popularity) provides the stats you need, while the item sequence Spear of Shojin > Voltaic Cyclosword > Sundered Sky with Plated Steelcaps delivers 64.5% win rate against Kled.

Lane dominance: Aatrox not only wins the matchup but crushes CS (6.51/min vs 6.27 for Kled). This 0.24 CS/min advantage generates significant gold leads that compound your already favorable position. Complete superiority: Aatrox dominates both win rate (50.9%) and damage output (866 vs 849/min, 2nd among Top). The 17 damage/min difference creates massive snowball potential. Intriguing anomaly: Aatrox wins the matchup (50.9%) despite a lower KDA (1.90 vs 2.10). This suggests you win through macro influence and clutch plays in key moments rather than consistent individual performance.

How to Beat Kled as Aatrox (Top)

While statistically Aatrox is slightly stronger than Kled in the top lane, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

Except for rare builds, Aatrox deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Kled deals mainly physical damage (87.58%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Aatrox is higher farming statistics (ranked 32nd among role champions) (versus 44th for Kled), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.1 versus 1.9) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Aatrox Top versus Kled Top matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Aatrox player to maintain constant pressure on Kled, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

    Aatrox tips:

    • Use Umbral Dash while casting The Darkin Blade to increase your chances of hitting the enemy.
    • Crowd Control abilities like Infernal Chains or your allies' immobilizing effects will help you set up The Darkin Blade.
    • Cast World Ender when you are sure you can force a fight.

    Playing Against Kled

    • Kled generates courage by damaging enemies with his Pocket Pistol and basic attacks, killing minions, and attacking structures or epic monsters.
    • 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.
