Hi there summoners, I'm HollowsxD from SG/SEA/Garena server playing on normal PvP and this is my Zed guide, It was my very first guide here on Mobafire, and I appreciated all any feedback that you guys may provide. :)

After buying Zed, I find him really fun to play when you have master it and of course it will take time to master.

Here Zed spotlight from Riot itself.

As all of the champion in League Of Legends, Zed also has his strengths and also weaknesses which can be used to change fight if you abuse his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.

spaaaaaaace

Pros + Energy user + High damage nuke + Ultimate make you untargetable + A Multi-use skill + Spammable Shadow Slash + High damage mid/late game + He's a Ninja Assasin

Cons - Focused in teamfight - Takes time to master him - Low damage early game - No hard CC - - -

space

Flash is useful for closing the gap on enemies if ther running away or for your escape if Living Shadow is on cooldown.

space

Ignite is extremely good for securing the kills if you burst won't make it, It also can counter those who have Heal and champion like Vladimir, Dr. Mundo.

space

space

Heal is useful for Zed early game due of his weak early game, replace it with Flash.

space

space

Ghost if you think you need more speed on Zed, replace with Flash.

Exhaust was nerfed in S3 but still viable, good for countering AS champions.

space

space

Teleport is also good if you want go ganking with walk all the way to there, and good if you have a hard time in lane and you need recall often.

space

You not jungling aren't you ? So obviously no, its for your jungler unless you jungling.

space

Zed use energy bro, energy. So no need to use this. Seriously no no no no.

You going to play Zed as a assassin, so role is just burst down their carry then they don't have a chance to throw CC at you, savvy ?

space

My mastery setup is normal with by taking all physical damage in offensive tree because all your abilities scale on AD and none of them scale on AP. And taking armor, magic resist and health in the defensive tree for making Zed able to stand the early game aggression.

space

Offensive Tree Summoner's Wrath because you take Ignite. Brute Force gave flat AD, any amount of AD is good on Zed. Butcher again make your last hitting easier. Alacrity to make hitting easier. Deadliness Makes Zed AD higher and will procs Living Shadow passive. Weapon Expertise Zed mostly deal physical damage which is good againt armor stacker. Vampirism For lane sustain. Sunder Same as Weapon Expertise . Executioner Combined with Zed's passive, Contempt for the Weak for an epic finisher.

space

Defensive Tree Resistance good for pesky AP Caster. Hardiness most melee champion will focus on you in teamfight, so a little armor is good. Durability for Zed survivability in teamfight. Veteran's Scars to counters early game aggression.

• greater mark of armor penetration: Your burst scary.
  
  
• Greater Seal of Armor: Armor to keep you taking less damage from AD champions.
  
  
• Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist: Per level MR is good as AP caster ability base damage higher when late game.
  
  
• greater quintessence of armor penetration: A little armor penetration to keep your burst pain.

Contempt For The Weak: This passive is really good, you gonna hit like truck on tank with this passive and also could be your finisher after your combo.

Remember that it also works for minions and monster, so you can jungle fast and also farm easier.

• Abuse it, nuff' said.

Razor Shuriken : This ability is your bread and butter, and your poke ability in lane, you can do over 1k damage with this skill late game.

You're going to want to max out Razor Shuriken first, no exception.

• You can force enemy use his Health Potion by just using Razor Shuriken.
• Try to get a direct hit when poking to get the full damage.
• Even they behind their minion, just keep poking, you can farm while doing damage to them.
• Keep in mind that Razor Shuriken cost is quite high, so try to save it for your burst combo.

Living Shadow : This ability is the signature of Zed playstyle and a epic ability that can be used in many ways.

You're going to want to max out Living Shadow after Shadow Slash and before Razor Shuriken.

• Even your enemy underneath their turret, you can use this ability to poke your enemy without the fear of counter attack.
• Living Shadow is good for chasing and also escaping, when combine with Flash you can get an huge gap closer/huge gap.
• Living Shadow's shadow give vision of the area, take advantage of this.

Shadow Slash : This is your spamming skill and also the core of your combo, it always there for you.

You're going to want to max out Shadow Slash after Razor Shuriken and before Living Shadow.

• Remember that Shadow Slash have slow.
• Combine with Living Shadow to make the slow higher.
• Spam it, because it cooldown is pretty low.
• Be careful though it could empty your energy.
• Make farming easier.
• Don't use it too much as it can overpush your lane.

Death Mark: Your ultimate makes you untargetable for 1 seconds which is just cool, you could burst them before they even burst you down.

It also mark the opponent and deal damage base on your AD and the damage your deal in 3 seconds before the mark will detonate, so right after using your Death Mark use all your ability.

Don't forget that it also spawns a shadow behind the target which made you have 3 shadows and have 3x damage of your abilities.

You're going to take it whenever possible.

• If focused, use your Death Mark to make you untargetable for a second.
• You can just kill a carry with Death Mark alone if they have low HP.

Full Combo

1. Use your ultimate, Death Mark on the enemy, mostly their carry.
2. Right after it finished, spawns a Living Shadow behind your enemy or the way they will run.
3. Press Shadow Slash to slow them down and also damage them.
4. Throw Razor Shuriken in their way and now ulti will take effect.
5. One hit them to procs your passive Contempt for the Weak and Ignite if needed.
6. They probably die at the fourth steps lol.
7. "An enemy has been slain" you got yourself a kill :D

Pre-6

• Harass with your Living Shadow + Shadow Slash + Razor Shuriken
• Just keep harassing until you sure that their health is low enough to confirm a kill
• Proceed with Living Shadow then Shadow Slash to slow them down.
• Throw the Razor Shuriken and tap Shadow Slash to slow them again.
• Last hit to procs your Contempt for the Weak and Ignite if needed.

• When chasing, use Living Shadow in the way of enemy then Shadow Slash to slow them down and lastly tap again to change place with your shadow.
• When escaping, use Living Shadow infront of your way then tap again to change position and lastly use Shadow Slash to slow them down.

• If your enemy is really low on hp, you could just finish them off by Razor Shuriken
• When escaping with really low hp, make sure to tap Living Shadow again to make they can't hit you first.
