Champion Guide

Zed is a Mid Lane assassin, master of shadows whose kit revolves around precise positioning of living shadows on the battlefield for explosive position-swaps. His ultimate Death Mark renders him invulnerable then detonates the target with a final shadow explosion. His energy resource instead of mana allows unlimited spell spam without resource penalty. In Wild Rift, Zed is a one-shot assassin who excels against squishy mages, demanding shadow management mastery to maximize attack angles.

Game Plan

Early

Safe farm, short poke trades (W→E→Q) and priority to prepare the first roam.

Mid

Two-item spike: play flank/pick before each target, reset after execution.

Late

Split short/side then join in R; look for isolated backline, GA if necessary.
