Zed vs Twisted Fate

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Zed is a high-mobility assassin aiming to burst down Twisted Fate before he can safely use Gold Card or roam.
Apply lane pressure early to deny Twisted Fate his controlled wave state and map presence.

Trading pattern

Use W + E for guaranteed damage, then Q to finish trades, respecting Twisted Fate's Gold Card stun range.
Avoid engaging when Twisted Fate has Gold Card ready; wait for him to use it or miss before committing.
Use R to dodge key abilities or finish Twisted Fate when he is out of position or Gold Card is down.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Twisted Fate has Gold Card selected and nearby allies for follow-up.
Avoid prolonged trades if you miss W engage, as Twisted Fate can punish hard with stun.
When Twisted Fate's R is up and side lanes are overextended, expect map pressure and play accordingly.

Early game

Avoid extended trades before level 3 as Zed is vulnerable and Twisted Fate can punish with Gold Card.
Use level 3 W + E + Q combo to poke and threaten all-ins when Gold Card is not ready.
Punish Twisted Fate if he wastes W or mispositions to land your combo safely.

Power spikes

Major spikes: Level 3 unlocks W-E-Q combo; Level 6 R; first lethality item completion.
Respect Twisted Fate's Level 6 Twisted Fate R for map pressure and potential side-lane roams.

Win conditions

Use high burst and mobility to kill Twisted Fate before he can use Gold Card safely.
Deny Twisted Fate wave control to limit his roam impact and map pressure.
Exploit windows when Gold Card or R are on cooldown to all-in and snowball the lane.

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