Re-tapping the ability button will switch you with your shadow the moment it arrives at its target location.Ī better way to use it for escaping is by casting it towards the opposite direction you are running to which gives you the option to switch to it if the enemy over commits on following you.Ĭast living shadow in a safe location before committing to an all-in so you can kill an enemy with your ultimate then return to safety in a blink of an eye. Living Shadow is mainly used offensively to multiple your other basic abilities. Living Shadow also grants the passive ability to restore his energy when his ability strikes the same enemy twice. During this duration, Zed can reactivate the ability to switch places with the shadow. Living Shadow allows Zed’s shadow to dash forward and remain in place for a short duration. You can use Razor Shuriken twice in combination with Living Shadow before the shadow dissipates in the late game which can catch the enemy off guard. Use it to snipe down the enemy as they recall under the tower. Some enemies will underestimate your range with the shadow’s shuriken throw. Yes, it will deal less damage but it is hitting two birds with one stone. When facing a ranged enemy in the lane, do not hesitate to use the shurikens to last hit the minions and try to hit the enemy champion as well. Razor Shuriken is Zed’s main source of damage as multiple shurikens deal a serious amount of damage.Įach Shuriken has a separate counter for the Keystone Rune Electrocute which makes it easy to proc it with Zed when trading. The shurikens deal damage separately but it deals more damage to the first target it hits. Zed and his shadows throw their shuriken which deals damage to enemies in its path. Make sure to last at least one auto-attack when trading and going for an all-in because your passive contributes a large amount of damage to your combos.


Zed’s passive gives you a good chance to steal jungle monsters or drakes using a simple ability + basic attack combo because of the passive’s damage output. It has an internal ten seconds cooldown for each enemy hit.Ĭontempt for the Weak helps with your last hitting in the early game as the bonus damage applies to all enemies: Minions, jungle monsters, epic monsters, and champions. The damage dealt is based on the enemy’s maximum health. Zed deals bonus magic damage on enemies with below half health.
