Tips & Tricks

  • 1.Use Smite early on camps to bring them below 50% HP quickly — your clear speed determines your gank pressure.
  • 2.Blue Buff is your highest priority — Zed is heavily energy-dependent and runs out quickly without it.
  • 3.Auto-attack first after R landing to trigger the Scorchclaw Pup slow, then land Shurikens while the target is slowed.
  • 4.First Strike rewards aggressive early pathing; reach your first item spike before the enemy jungler to maximize gold lead.
  • 5.Do not fight without item advantage — wait for Hubris or Voltaic Cyclosword before committing to skirmishes.
