Zed Matchups Overview
Zed General information
Zed tips and tricks
Keep a constant eye on your resource bar. Zed needs as much energy as possible before committing to the fight. Avoid playing too aggressively when you’re low on energy.
In team fights, focus the squishiest enemy champion or somebody without defensive tools. This will make taking someone down much easier.
Use your Ultimate R to dodge incoming damage and CC. It can be really beneficial and not only getting kills but also save your life.
