How to play it

✓ DO

Wall his Q

Almost all of Zed's damage is his Q (Razor Shuriken) — drop Wind Wall on his shurikens to eat a big chunk of it and trade back for free.

Punish his W

When he burns Living Shadow (W) to harass, abuse its very long cooldown and trade back hard — he has no shadow left to reposition out of your return damage.

Ignite over Exhaust

Exhaust can blunt his all-in, but Ignite gives you more kill pressure in lane — keep Ignite unless you just need to survive his burst.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never trade into his Q without Wind Wall available — that shuriken poke is where his entire damage output comes from.
