Zed excels at sustained poke with his energy-based Q skill and burst assassination using his W-E-Q combo.
While Jungle Zed boasts fast clear speeds, solely focusing on farming can frustrate teammates; effective ganking and objective sharing are crucial.
Zed's W and ultimate provide excellent mobility for engaging or disengaging, and items like Eclipse can grant surprising durability, but be wary of strong counters such as Malphite and Irelia.
