RAZOR SHURIKEN:

Razor Shuriken is an ability that gives Zed some instant range in begin game. this ability gives you a huge advantage on your mid opponents with the range and the low cooldowns. when using this ability try to cast Living Shadow before you use Razor Shuriken for double damage or for some extra range. the cooldown on Razor Shuriken is 6 throughout the whole game.


LIVING SHADOW:

Living Shadow is an ability wich is very often use to just give Zed some extra range or to juke your enemys. when combined with either one of zed's abilities Living Shadow will come in handy, because if Zed hits the ability he casts and the mimiced ability of Living Shadow strikes to you will regain 20 to 40 energy (depends on level). Living Shadow gives an 5 to 25% AD boost to Zed depending on level wich will give you a fine boost in end game.


SHADOW SLASH:

Shadow Slash is an ability that gives zed the final edge in a 1v1, and it can also be used to slow an enemy for 20, 25, 30, 35, 40%, when combined with Living Shadow so if you hit both the Shadow Slash of Zed himself and hit the Shadow Slash of Living Shadow it will generate a slow effect of 30, 37.5, 45, 52.5 60% (depends on level).
