How it works

General

  1. You play as Zed Bruiser.
  2. Your build is survivability oriented. With some damage and tons of HP and defense.
  3. You auto attack a lot.

How to play

General

  1. As Zed playing Bruiser build - you need to adapt to an enemy team and to the game!
  2. Good item for this build is Experimental Hexplate
  3. Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!

Adaptation

  1. 👊 If ahead, consider going for more damage items to snowball.
  2. 🏰 If behind, go tanky.
  3. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.

Champion

  1. Zed Contempt for the Weak (Passive) has brutal damage, without building single damage item. It deals maximum health as bonus magic damage. That means even building as Bruiser, you still pack some punch.

Tips and Tricks

Riot

  1. Saving energy and spell cooldowns until you use your ultimate will maximize Death Mark's damage.
  2. Quickly double tapping Living Shadow will teleport Zed to his shadow immediately for rapid escapes.
  3. Placing a Living Shadow before using Death Mark can give Zed a safe escape from combat.
