Matchup Dynamics
How This Matchup Works
Use E – Hookshot angles and Q2 true damage to win short, isolated trades; force picks with R – Hextech Ultimatum at 6. Kled wins extended fights or long lanes. The lane pivots on Wave 4 crash and first item at ~10–11 minutes.
Early Game (1-5)
Skill Matchup - Wave control + jungle decide; pace around Passive shield (18/14/10s) and Q2 timer (1.5s delay).
Mid Game (6-11)
Skill Matchup - Wave control + jungle decide; pace around Passive shield (18/14/10s) and Q2 timer (1.5s delay).
Late Game (12+)
Camille Favored - Hookshot picks + Q2 true damage win short isolations; punish after key dash/CC is down.
Key Interactions
- Q2 timing window (1.5s delay): Space for 1.5s after Q1; land Q2 for true damage; weave auto resets; cancel if enemy holds hard CC.
- Hookshot buffer & angle: Cast E – Hookshot from fog at 700–800u; buffer Flash>E2 to bypass reaction dashes; only commit when Jousting or Violent Tendencies is down.
- W outer cone heal: Tag outer edge of W – Tactical Sweep to slow (80% decay/2s) and heal; step inside cones from Kled to deny their heal/zone.
- Passive shield typing: Proc Adaptive Defenses on first hit; if Kled deals AD, trade during physical shield (18/14/10s CD by level).
Camille
Strengths
- Point-and-click R isolates target; prevents most dashes/flashes leaving zone
- Q2 true damage shreds high armor; Sheen procs amplify trades
- E – Hookshot > Wall Dive creates long engage range + stun
- Adaptive Defenses shield by damage type; enables timed short trades
Weaknesses
- Hookshot 16–12s CD; losing trades if E down in long lane
- Mana early; missed W loses tempo; Q cycle gated by spacing
- Vulnerable to heavy CC/disengage that stops E2 follow-up
- Struggles vs anti-dive and %HP shred in extended fights
Kled
Strengths
- Kled excels in extended fights or range control
- Can punish Hookshot cooldown and predictable E angles
- Snowballs off wave crashes and jungle cover
Weaknesses
- Hates isolation inside Hextech Ultimatum
- Telegraphed all-ins can be buffered/Flashed by Camille
- Poor into short, shield-timed trades with Q2 spacing

Laning Phase Guide
| Level/Phase | Camille | Kled |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Start Q – Precision Protocol (vs ranged start W); last-hit only; slow-push wave 1; trade after Kled uses a key spell; ward river/tri 2:20. | Kled: start standard poke/CS tool; deny Camille passive proc; ward 1:15 brush cheese. |
| Level 2 | Take W; hold freeze 3–4 minions; Q1 wait 1.5s > Q2; back off before their big CD returns; ward pixel/tri 2:40. | Kled: trade when Hookshot is down; break freeze by thinning; prep level 3 all-in. |
| Level 3 | Unlock E; threaten E from side brush; only commit if Jousting or Violent Tendencies is down; prep Wave 4 crash. | Kled: bait E then chase; crash if jungler topside; deny cannon setup. |
| Level 4-5 | Crash Wave 4 ~3:15–3:30; base 900–1300g (Sheen 900g + ward) or hold freeze; thin stacked waves to dodge dives. | Kled: contest Wave 4 crash; call jungler to break freeze; place deep ward before 3:30. |
| Level 6 | Hit 6 first by slow-push then crash; R isolate if Kled has no dash/Flash; else hold R to counter; ping jungle for dive. | Kled: hold dash/defensive for Hextech Ultimatum; fight only after Camille spends R or E. |
| Level 7-8 | Complete first item (Triforce/Sundered/Hydra); extend trades; hover Herald; TP (300s) only to stacked waves/objectives. | Kled: punish Camille mana on wave clear; shove and roam if R is down; track TP windows. |
| Level 9 | Max Q; choose freeze vs duelists or slow push to roam; threaten E from fog; swap sides for objective timers. | Kled: break freezes with jungler; avoid walls where E angles exist; kite out of R zone if possible. |

Key Patterns
Lethal Combos
Camille Full Combo (Level 6+):
E – Hookshot > (buffer Flash if needed) > E2 stun > Q1 > wait 1.5s > R – Hextech Ultimatum > Q2 > W outer edge > autos
Lethal from ~55–65% vs non-tanks with Sheen item or Hydra and Ignite
Kled Escape/Counter Combo:
Hold Jousting or Violent Tendencies to deny E2 or escape R edge; re-engage after Camille E is down
Survive initial burst; win extended if Camille misses Q2 or W outerTrading Combos
Camille Short Trade:
Q1 > step back 1.5s > Q2 (true) > auto reset; add W outer when they retreat
Use Passive shield as a trade clock; disengage if key CC returns
Kled Quick Trade:
Bear Trap on a Rope / Pocket Pistol poke/trade; kite W cone; punish after E is on CD (16–12s)
Fight long lane; force Camille to chase without wallsLethal Thresholds
- Camille Kill Range: Kill if target <60% HP without Flash/dash; <40% for tanks; R cage denies most escape tools
- Kled Kill Range: Kled wins if Camille wastes E or misses Q2/W outer; build early armor/MR as needed
- Critical Levels: 3: E access; 6: R isolation; 9: Q max; 13: 2-item spike
