Any tips on being useful with Kled while unmounted?

So, I've been playing Kled a lot since his release, and I love him, but he seems totally useless without Skaarl

It seemed when I watched gameplay on PBE before his release, he was able to gain courage and get Skaarl back a lot faster than now. I'm not sure if I'm doing it wrong, or if people just figured out he sucks ass while unmounted, but it's really irritating me

If I'm in a fight and get dismounted, I'm pretty much forced to fight, but how am I supposed to do that when I get two shotted or CC'd to oblivion? And this happens even with things like Death's Dance and Merc Treads. It seems impossible to dish out enough damage to gain full courage and then the .75 second delay it takes for Skaarl to actually come back, because I'm dead before he gets to me. Pretty much what I try to do now is if I get unmounted, stay back (if I'm in lane), and farm and gain courage. If I'm in a fight, I try to stay back and Q enemies until I get enough to go in and get my W off on someone and get Skaarl. But that's where the whole CC, two shot, issue comes in

So I might not be building right or playing right, I'm not sure which. But could anyone who's been playing him well give me some help and advice?

Also my usual build is something like: item 3748 item 3071 item 3812 item 3742 item 3156 item 3009 or item 3111

I've been suggesting item 3153 on him, his W has great synergy with on hit items and while unmounted his basic attacks only do 80% of his AD, so the on hit effect is better than flat AD, you can use it to restore some courage with the active and either catch up to someone to auto them or escape a bit easier, and it not only gives him the passive lifesteal but also the active health restore. For that build I'd probably recommend replacing item 3812 with item 3153 .

Well he is supposed to be total shit when unmounted because he is broken when mounted and is manaless so something has to give. Best way to get Skaarl back is to wait for w and try to get to somebody or flash if needed and spam those 4 attacks and hit a q, it should bring him back.

Yeah I feel you. You kinda have to bait people. W over a wall or such to get pitta dodge then run in after cc has been blown.

But I have the same problem of dying as the trumpets are playing and Skaaaaaarl is running to me. Is so depressing lol

That build is what I thought would be good on Kled, but Kled is actually a Trinity Force user, so he instead goes something like: item 3078 item 3053 item 3022 item 3071 item 3026 item 3111

You might also want Attack Speed runes and Fervor (or whatever) masteries.
