Zed vs Evelynn

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Zed's early game burst and dueling strength to aggressively invade Evelynn's jungle and disrupt her scaling.
Prioritize controlling river vision and contesting objectives early to limit Evelynn's post-6 pick threat and roaming potential.

Jungle Plan

Full clear quickly and invade Evelynn's jungle pre-level 6 to deny her farm and force defensive pathing.
Contest Scuttle when lanes can assist; otherwise, focus on side camps and maintain vision to track Evelynn's movements.
Use superior early dueling and gank threat to pressure lanes, force Evelynn reactive, and set up dragon or Herald control.

Danger windows

Evelynn's post-6 stealth and (W) charm create high-risk windows in isolated river fights; avoid solo contests without vision or lane priority.
Low-health clears early leave you vulnerable to Evelynn's ganks; maintain health and clear efficiently to reduce risk.
Forced smite fights near objectives without vision or lane support risk losing tempo and objectives to Evelynn's pick potential.

Early game

Execute a fast level 3 clear to reach power spike before Evelynn and look for early invades on her vulnerable camps.
Secure first Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to ensure safe contest and counter-gank support.
Avoid isolated river fights without vision or lane priority to prevent Evelynn's post-6 stealth and charm from punishing you.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks Zed's full (W)+(E)+(Q) combo, enabling strong early invades and skirmishes to punish Evelynn's weak dueling.
Level 6 grants Zed's ultimate (R) for high burst all-ins; capitalize on this to secure kills on isolated targets before Evelynn can flank.
First lethality item completion significantly boosts damage and objective control, allowing confident invades and pressure on Evelynn's jungle.

Win conditions

Convert early jungle tempo and invades into dragon and Rift Herald control by leveraging superior dueling and lane pressure.
Deny Evelynn's scaling by tracking her jungle path and using vision denial to prevent her post-6 flanks and picks.
Snowball leads through aggressive ganks and counter-jungling to secure teamfight advantages with burst picks and objective control.
