Zilean Matchups Overview

Zilean General information

Zilean tips and tricks

If you can’t hit your Bombs Time BombQ, slow the enemy first with your Time WarpE and then follow it up with a Time BombQ RewindW Time BombQ.

Only use your Ultimate ChronoshiftR to save somebody worth saving. Don’t Ult ChronoshiftR someone who is 0-5!

Before using your Passive to level someone up, make sure you’re in a safe position to do it. Standing out of range and behind minions are good, safe locations during the laning phase.
