This is an incredibly powerful passive, both in the laning phase and in mid-late game as well. This effect can only occur once every 10 seconds on the same target. Tier 3: Juggernaut, though somewhat overrated due to the lack of health Zed builds, still is a 3% improvement to survivability by all means take it as the finishing point for the 9 point investment in defense.Ĭontempt For The Weak (Passive): Zed's basic attacks against targets below 50% health deal 6 / 8 / 10% of the target's maximum health as bonus magic damage. Veteran Scars is actually a massive boost to Zed's early game survivability, as it's about a 6% increase in HP at level 1. Tier 2: Unyielding essentially does what Block does, but better as it applies to spells as well. Defensive Masteries // Tier 1: Block and Recovery greatly aids Zed's early game in lane the former reduces the potency of autoattack harass, while the latter helps Zed regain health afterwards. Maximises Zed's damage potential throughout the game. Tier 5: Devastating Strikes is a must for Zed because the armor penetration stacks up with the penetration from items to give Zed a 65% armor penetation stat (assuming full stacks of Black Cleaver) as well as a small flat armor penetration. Warlord works together with his W to give Zed a massive late game damage boost. Tier 4: We take a point in Blade Weaving due to the fact that the combination of his double Razor Shuriken (from himself and his shadow) as well as his E instantly brings Zed up to the 3% maximum when full combo'ing an enemy. We take Spell Weaving mainly to get access of Blade Weaving, but the damage increase helps after you put an autoattack or two in. Executioner seems like it was made for Zed, amplifying his damage to lower health targets. Combined with his standard rune build, brings up his early bonus AD to +11. Tier 3: Martial Mastery gives Zed a good bonus to his early damage. This also synergizes with the late game bonus from his W's bonus AD amplification. Tier 2: Brute Force gives Zed a scaling bonus to his damage. We mix our 4 points in Fury and Sorcery because both are good stats for Zed and if he takes cooldown reduction glyphs the pre-game build will bring him to 10% CDR. Offensive Masteries // Tier 1: Double-Edged Sword is a must for the boost in extra damage. While he may have had his shifts of popularity in the meta, skilled Zed players will always be successful. Thus, Zed players need to have splitpushing and objective control as a constant factor for efficient usage of their time, and their team needs to respond appropriately.Īll in all, Zed is an extremely powerful assassin and is very fun and rewarding to play and master. Because of that, he is somewhat weak in teamfights apart from picking priority targets off. Unlike his AP assassin counterparts, Katarina and Akali, he lacks the repeated burst to slay entire teams, trading that power off for even faster and stronger 100-0 potential. However, not all is sunshine and flowers for the ninja of the shadows. In fact, he has one of the best waveclears in the game, and can splitpush rapidly later on in the game. He is a very safe laner, possessing a good escape mechanism as well as low-CD harass with his Razor Shuriken, and his passive allows for easy CS'ing. While his ultimate itself is countered by many means such as Quicksilver Sash and its incarnation or invulnerabilities such as Kayle's Intervention, his playmaking ability is extremely powerful, and thus only makes him stronger as your skill level with him progresses. Zed is also an extremely rewarding champion to play. While most assassins have very little escapes after blown everything to assassinate a key target and thus often die afterwards, Zed has multiple escape mechanisms that lets him contribute to a fight without getting caught up in the following debris. His whole kit revolves around dashing in, instantly and silently killing the AD or AP Carry, then instantly blinking out before any attempts to hinder him get through. Apart from the swift dashes of a Lee Sin or the graceful mobility of Ahri, many fights may feel like a simple slugfest admittedly, a great deal of tactical skill and decision-making goes into skirmishes and teamfights, but many champions simply lack the dark beauty that makes up Zed, the Master of Shadows. League is nowadays a place where true elegance is lacking.
