Who Wins
- You win levels 1-3 through superior sustain, base damages, and Q poke range, but you lose at level 6 when Zed gains kill pressure with Death Mark.
- Your window of dominance closes significantly once he reaches his power spike.
How to Trade
- You should use your Q abilities to poke and farm simultaneously, then look for extended trades when Zed uses his shadow offensively.
- Your passive auto-attack combined with Q sweet spots will out-trade his burst if you can stick to him.
Wave Control
- You want to hard push waves early to establish lane priority and roam timing, using your sustain to ignore Zed's poke attempts.
- After level 6, maintain vision control and avoid overextending without your E dash available.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You cannot afford to waste your E dash defensively against his W-E-Q poke, as you'll be vulnerable to his all-in ultimate combo.
- Don't use your ultimate reactively to his Death Mark, as the healing occurs after the mark pops and won't save you from the execution damage.
