Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Focus on controlled pathing that leverages your engage and CC to contest river and objectives against Zed's burst threat.
Prioritize teamfight setup and objective control over isolated duels, using vision and melee-lane synergy to secure picks and deny Zed scaling.

Jungle Plan

Establish river control by contesting Scuttle only when lane priority and numbers favor you.
Invade Zed's jungle camps only when you have lane support or have tracked his pathing to avoid risky duels.
Use tempo leads to secure Void Grubs, dragon, or Herald vision and force grouped fights that play to your strengths.

Danger windows

Zed's strongest invade and objective timings, especially around his level 6 (R), make blind river checks and isolated fights risky.
Avoid engaging without (Q), Smite, or defensive cooldowns available to prevent losing duels or smite contests.
Losing lane priority around Scuttle, dragon, or Herald creates dangerous windows where Zed can force unfavorable river fights.

Early game

Start with a full or controlled clear aimed at lanes with melee allies to maximize gank threat before Zed hits level 3.
Approach the first river Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority and can collapse quickly.
Avoid early isolated fights and prefer cross-map camps or opposite-side ganks when direct river contests are unfavorable.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for long-range engage, enabling you to start fights or ganks without committing first; use this around objective timers.
First completed tank item increases durability and clear speed, enhancing frontline presence and objective control.
Two completed items solidify your ability to frontline and chain CC in teamfights, mitigating Zed's single-target burst threat.

Win conditions

Translate jungle tempo into objective control by securing vision and forcing grouped fights where your CC chains excel.
Deny Zed's scaling by tracking his clears and invading when he is isolated or out of position.
If outnumbered, trade tempo into top-side camps, Void Grubs, or Herald vision instead of forcing dragon fights to maintain pressure and map control.
