Who Wins
- You dominate levels 1-3 with Q poke and W mobility, forcing Zed into unfavorable trades and CS deficits.
- At level 6, you lose direct all-in potential but maintain safety through W escape and passive clone, making the lane skill-dependent on your positioning and combo execution.
How to Trade
- Your trading pattern revolves around W forward, Q-E combo, then immediately returning to your W pad before Zed can retaliate with W-E-Q.
- You can also use Q poke when he goes for CS, then W away if he tries to engage with his shadow combo.
Wave Control
- You should maintain minion control by clearing waves efficiently with W-Q, then look for roam opportunities or jungle skirmishes where your burst damage excels.
- Avoid hard shoving without vision, as Zed's roam potential increases significantly when he can match your wave clear.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never W forward without your return pad available when Zed has R up, as his ultimate will follow your blink and you'll lack escape options.
- Avoid face-checking brushes or river areas post-6, since Zed's R-W-E-Q combo can kill you before you can react with defensive abilities.
