Zed vs Aurelion Sol

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Zed is a high-agency assassin looking to punish Aurelion Sol's weak early game and prevent him from scaling.
Use lane pressure to deny Aurelion Sol safe farming and avoid letting him establish his roaming presence.

Trading pattern

Use W + E for guaranteed damage, then Q to finish trades before committing with R.
Trade aggressively when Aurelion Sol's Aurelion Sol Q or Aurelion Sol W are on cooldown or missed.
Avoid using W to engage if the combo might miss, as missing it leaves you open to punishment.

Danger windows

Be cautious after missing W + E engage, as you can be punished hard.
Avoid extended trades before level 3 when Zed is weak and vulnerable.
Punish Aurelion Sol when he uses Aurelion Sol Q and Aurelion Sol W poorly or they are on cooldown.

Early game

Abuse Zed's level 3 W-E-Q combo to all-in before Aurelion Sol has his full kit.
Punish Aurelion Sol's reliance on landing Aurelion Sol Q and W by dodging and engaging quickly.
Avoid extended trades before level 3 when Zed is vulnerable to pressure.

Power spikes

Major spikes: level 3 for full W-E-Q combo, level 6 for R all-in, and first lethality item.
Respect Aurelion Sol's late-game power spike after 75+ ultimate stacks and item completion.
Keep pressure early to delay Aurelion Sol reaching his strong mid-late game state.

Win conditions

Deny Aurelion Sol farm and force fights before he scales.
Use R to dodge key enemy abilities and finish off Aurelion Sol quickly.
Snowball from early kills to maintain lane dominance and roam pressure.

Tip: For Zed vs Aurelion Sol, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
