Wukong into Zedmedium

Overview

Focus on reaching level 6 quickly to leverage for strong teamfight engage and disruption against Zed's burst threat.
Avoid early risky invades before level 6 to prevent getting punished by Zed's mobility and burst damage.
Use clone to bait Zed's cooldowns and create safer river fight opportunities post-6.

Jungle Plan

Path toward lanes with strong follow-up to maximize knockup impact in ganks and river skirmishes.
Use clone to bait Zed's cooldowns before committing to river fights or objective contests.
Prioritize dragon and Rift Herald setups after level 6 when can disrupt multiple enemies in objective fights.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 where Zed's burst and mobility can secure kills.
Be cautious during forced smite fights on dragon or Herald if Zed's ultimate is available.
Low-health clears are vulnerable to counter-invades; maintain vision and path with lane priority in mind.

Early game

Start with a full clear to hit level 6 efficiently, avoiding early confrontations unless a nearby lane has strong setup for a gank.
Contest first Scuttle Crab only if nearby lanes have priority to support river control and counter-ganks.
Avoid early invades before level 6 as Zed's burst and mobility can punish tracked or isolated clears.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlock is key: use to engage and disrupt Zed and his team during river fights and objectives.
Respect Zed's level 3 combo unlock that enables his poke and all-in threat; avoid early fights before you hit 6.
After Zed completes his first lethality item, focus on teamfight engages rather than isolated duels to mitigate his burst.

Win conditions

Convert level 6 engage power into securing dragon and Rift Herald by controlling river vision and forcing fights.
Use clone deception and knockup to win skirmishes and deny Zed's scaling through counter-jungling.
Leverage strong gank threat post-6 to snowball lanes and force Zed into defensive play, limiting his roam and pick potential.
