One of these champions is not usually played in this lane — treat the verdict as a rough guide.
How to play it
- Press early
Tristana is stronger in the first levels — shove and deny farm.
- Poke and back off
Use your range: hit, then step back before Zed reaches you. Never stand where they can.
- 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 Immortal Shieldbow early.

How to beat Zed
- All-in him before level 6
- Beware his shadows — every shadow stacks his damage
- Zed is mid-range — punish him during trades
- Magic resist doesn't help — his ult deals true damage
How to play as Tristana
- Combo: W (Rocket Jump) → E (Explosive Charge) → autos to detonate
- W resets on kill or assist — chase forever
- Build Kraken Slayer + Phantom Dancer for on-hit + attack speed
