How to play it
- Poke and back off
Use your range: hit, then step back before Zed reaches you. Never stand where they can.
- Don't chase
Zed escapes faster than you — take farm and towers instead of running.
- Physical resistance
Zed deals physical damage — Zhonya's Hourglass as your 2nd or 3rd item.
When you are in danger
- Full HP or back off
Zed's burst kills from half HP. No trades under 60%, and buy Banshee's Veil early.
