Zilean vs Orianna

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use bomb zones to control Orianna's movement and force her away from safe ball positions.
Prioritize speeding your ADC to kite Orianna's poke and punish her immobility.
Hold (R) to negate Orianna's burst or displacement during enemy all-ins or dives.

Trading pattern

Set double bombs on minions or slowed Orianna to trigger stuns and force trades.
Use (E) speed to engage or disengage trades, avoiding Orianna's ball control zones.
Punish (Q) cooldown by stepping up immediately after she uses it to poke.

Danger windows

Respect (R) displacement at level 6, which can disrupt your positioning and ADC.
Avoid standing in minion waves where Orianna can safely place her ball to zone or poke.
Beware of Orianna's shield (E) timing, which reduces your trade damage if mistimed.

Early game

Contest level 2 to leverage double bomb stun and speed advantage over Orianna's longer (Q) cooldown.
Use (E) speed to reposition and avoid Orianna's ball poke while setting bombs on minions.
Reset after crashing waves to deny Orianna free recalls and maintain lane pressure.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks double bomb plus speed, enabling strong short trades before Orianna's shield is reliable.
Level 3 (W) allows double-bomb setups, increasing trade threat and zoning potential.
Level 6 (R) provides revive, forcing Orianna to hesitate on full burst or all-ins.

Win conditions

Control lane with bomb zones and speed boosts to deny Orianna's ball positioning and poke.
Use (R) to save your ADC from Orianna's burst or displacement, enabling safer fights.
Coordinate with your ADC to exploit Orianna's immobility and punish her cooldowns aggressively.
