Overview

Use (W) slows and (R) pick threat to control brush and deny Zilean's bomb zones.
Protect ADC access by positioning to punish Zilean's double (Q) stun attempts.

Trading pattern

Engage only when (R) stun can be followed by ADC damage to punish Zilean's low mobility.
Hold (W) slows to control enemy positioning and peel for ADC against Zilean's engage attempts.
Deny Zilean's bomb placement by forcing him to reposition with poke and brush control.

Danger windows

Respect Zilean's double (Q) stun combo and speed (E) to avoid burst and forced disengage.
Avoid standing in bomb zones or isolated brush where Zilean can land double bombs safely.
Track (R) revive cooldown to prevent wasted all-ins or overcommitment.
