Zed vs Lux

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Zed is a high-mobility assassin aiming to burst Lux before she can poke safely from range.
Use lane pressure to deny Lux a passive scaling lane and punish her if she mispositions or wastes Lux Q.

Trading pattern

Engage trades with W + E for guaranteed damage, then use Q to finish and R to all-in if Lux is rooted or mispositioned.
Punish Lux whenever Lux Q is missed, as her main pick and poke tool is down.
Respect Lux W shield timing; avoid committing fully when it is active to prevent wasted burst.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Lux has Lux Q and Lux R available, as her combined poke and burst can be lethal.
Missing W engage or combo leaves Zed vulnerable to Lux's counterpoke and root.
Avoid trading when Lux W shield is up, as it reduces your burst effectiveness.

Early game

Avoid extended trades before level 3 when Zed is vulnerable to Lux's poke and root.
Use level 3 W + E + Q combo to threaten all-ins and force Lux to respect your burst.
Dodge Lux Q to reduce her poke and open windows for your aggression.

Power spikes

Zed's major spikes: level 3 for full W-E-Q combo, level 6 for R, and first lethality item.
Respect Lux's major spikes: level 6 Lux R and first completed mage item which increase her burst threat.

Win conditions

Use high mobility and W-E-Q combo to burst Lux quickly before she can respond.
Punish Lux's missed Lux Q to create kill pressure and deny her lane control.
All-in after level 6 using R to dodge key abilities and finish Lux before she can shield or root you.

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