Overview

Control brush to threaten (Q) hooks and deny Zilean's bomb zones.
Use (W) lantern proactively to enable aggressive ADC trades or save from poke.
Prioritize engage windows when ADC can follow up before Zilean speeds away.

Use (E) to interrupt Zilean's speed boost or bomb setups on your ADC.

Danger windows

Respect Zilean's double bomb stun range and avoid standing clustered in minion waves.
