How to play it
- Don't chase
Zed escapes faster than you — take farm and towers instead of running.
- Physical resistance
Zed deals physical damage — Death's Dance as your 2nd or 3rd item.
- Full combo or nothing
Zed is squishy — wait for every ability, go in once. No half-combo trades.
When you are in danger
- Full HP or back off
Zed's burst kills from half HP. No trades under 60%, and buy Death's Dance early.
