Introduction

Let's start by getting to know Zed better.
Who is Zed ?
He is an Attack Damage, melee, Assasin/Fighter.
Zed is the first Ninja in 200 years who mastered the forbidden Shadow Tehnique.
As an orphan, Zed was adopted by Shen's father. They were equals. Everytime they fought, the fight was ending in a draw. Jelous, Zed was seeking for more power. One day, he discovered a secret room in the temple. In that room it was a tunnel. Zed followed the tunnel and he found a strange box. He oppened the box and released the Shadow Spirits that now possed him.
Next day he chalanged Shen, and won the fight, thanks to the shadows. Theyr master noticed that something was wrong with Zed. He exiled Zed forever. Years have passed and Zed came back with an army of disciples, seeking for revenge. At the temple's gate was Zed's master, who kneeled before him and begging him for forgiving him, and to come in to destroy the box. Zed and his master entered the temple. Only Zed got out, but he had his master's head in his hand, and threw it right to Shen's feet.
Now Zed offers knoledge and power for those who accept the Shadows and slains the ones who deny them.

Zed is a very good farmer, thanks to his passive Contempt for the Weak. All he has to do is hit a creep once or twice, wait untill the respective creep is low and then last hit it using his passive.
Farming is essential. Zed beeing an assasin, he needs items to keep himself strong.
