// MATCHUP STRATEGY

vs Kha'Zix — MID

vs Kha'Zix — duelist mirror. Burst race — first combo wins. Edge of Night for spell shield.

EARLY · 1-6
Laning phase

Zed mid is AD lethality assassin. Start Long Sword + 3 pots. Q poke during lane phase — your goal is to push enemy under tower and roam.

Level 2-3 spike: full ability rotation chunks squishy targets. Track jungler — AD assassins have escape tools but die to coordinated CC.

MID · 7-13
Roam & trade

Eclipse + Ionian Boots + Opportunity is your spike. Zed dives squishies — roam side lanes post-6 for pickoffs.

Youmuu's Ghostblade 2nd item = movement speed + burst. Serylda's Grudge 3-4th item shreds tanks. Pick off ADC/mid in skirmishes — your kill threshold is 60%+ HP.

LATE · 14+
Teamfights

Backline diver. Zed flash-combos squishies with Edge of Night spell shield. Guardian Angel 5-6th item = revive after dive.

Mortal Reminder vs healing comp. Track enemy ult cooldowns — fight around their key CDs.
