In the computer game “League of Legends” there is a huge number of different characters, each of which can attract you with its skills and characteristics, battle style and capabilities. Given the fact that becoming a real master of one hero is very difficult, it is extremely rare for gamers to use a large number of different characters - most often they choose only a few diverse heroes, the use of which they improve. Naturally, you can learn from your mistakes for a long time, but it's better to use such a useful thing as a guide. Zed is an incredibly strong, but rather difficult to master character, which is not used by so many people. That is why you should read this article, because, having understood this hero and imbued with him, you can squeeze incredible results out of him. As soon as you study this guide, Zed will seem to you far from that incomprehensible character that you do not want to take at all, it will become an ideal for you.
Contempt for the weak
Where should this guide start? Zed, like all other heroes in the League of Legends, has five different skills, of which his combat arsenal consists. One skill - passive, which is given to you initially, acts constantly and is not pumped, another - ult, which has only three levels and is the most powerful of the character, and the other three are standard skills. It’s worth starting with a passive ability, which the hero has is very strong, although at first glance it may seem useless to someone. With it, your character will be able to inflict additional damage to opponents who have less than half the health. The correct and competent use of this skill can give you a serious advantage over opponents. Naturally, not only one ability of a character will be described by this guide - Zed also has other powerful skills that you should learn more about.
Razor shuriken
As the name implies, this skill allows Zed to throw sharp shuriken at opponents. But what exactly is this ability? Guide to the hero will help you figure it out. It’s worth immediately clarifying that you need to use this ability as often as possible, this is your main skill, if you are going to play on the line or on the top - for foresters the main skill will be described a little later. So, when you activate this skill, your character from a fairly large distance throws a shuriken, which strikes several enemies at once on its way. This allows you, firstly, to attack from a safe distance, and secondly, to inflict more damage to a large number of enemies. Of course, it will take time to learn how to use the skill as it should - a guide to the hero can only explain and point out certain points, but you will need to learn to use this or that skill yourself.
Living shadow
If you do not know how to correctly use skills, then you will find a complete failure. A slow Zed is a dead Zed, so you need to understand well what your hero can do and be able to use it at the right time. For example, you can consider this skill, which many consider rather pointless. But the fact is that many people use it incorrectly, forgetting that the shadow created in the process repeats absolutely everything for its creator. This means that you need to use other skills not before creating the shadow, but after - and then you can do double damage: directly with your character and his shadow. As you can see, the proper use of skills can significantly increase your chances of victory and survival, and you may rarely need to know what a dead Zed is.
Shadow slash
So it's time to talk about the skill, which will be extremely necessary for the heroes who pump Zed-forester. With this ability, you can inflict quite a lot of damage to the enemy, as well as slow him down, which is also very important for further strategic actions of the game. Zed (cheats are not used in this game, therefore this character is often called a cheater because of this skill) becomes practically invincible if he skillfully pumped and correctly uses skills, for example, combining the use of his shadow with this shadow blow. After all, you will not only inflict double damage, but also slow down the enemy more strongly. So do not think that playing Zed is easy and simple - you will need to calculate a lot, since all the skills he has are interconnected. This stands out against the background of other Zed. The game, of course, does not revolve around him, and you can always neutralize even the strongest character, but with Zed, which is controlled by an experienced and competent player, it will be extremely difficult to do this.
Death mark
Well, the ult for this character really looks like a cheat code. Zed creates another shadow (this will be the second, if the Living Shadow skill was used before), after which he makes a jump on the enemy, as a result of which he does a lot of damage. If you can save mana and use the skill again, then you will immediately swap places with a shadow, thereby being safe and putting a shadow under attack, which, as you already know, is immortal. This ult is actually killer if used properly. With illiterate use, you will not only not do much damage, but also endanger your character. But if you can calculate everything correctly, then you will have two shadows at your disposal, you will cause serious damage to the enemy by jumping (before that you can use Shadow Slash to increase damage), and you yourself will be at a safe distance to attack with a shuriken - and two shadows will also do this. In general, if everything is correctly calculated, then using the ult will turn into a disaster for the enemy - that’s how strong Zed can be. Hyde (season 5 of the game has changed many heroes, but Zed has remained the same dangerous) has already sufficiently described the hero’s skills, so it’s worth summing up and drawing out the pros and cons of the character.
Pros Zeda
First of all, it is worth noting that the skills of Zed use very little mana, so that with proper planning you can build incredible attacks. With the advent of the ultimate and quality leadership, you can defeat any hero one on one. And if you meet a group of opponents, you can cause them serious damage, kill someone and easily hide, without dying in a battle with superior forces. Strictly speaking, mobility is one of the main advantages of this character, who can very sharply enter the battle and get out of it no less sharply.
Cons of Zed
The main disadvantage of this character is the difficulty of its development and further use. You will need a lot of perseverance and patience to learn how to play this hero, but that's not all. You will need to constantly plan your actions so as not to be without mana, to use skills at the right time in the right combinations, so that only the best of the best can cope with Zed. But if you master it and will seriously approach each battle, then you can become a real thunderstorm of any server.
Dangerous opponents
Each character has its own weaknesses, which are most easily revealed by specific heroes. Naturally, Zed also has several places you need to protect. However, given what your focus on skills should be, you should immediately pay attention to those heroes who can do something to you, so as not to be too distracted by those who do not particularly threaten you. For example, Cale has similar skills, but his advantage over Zed is the ult, which blocks Zed's main trump card - his ult. There is also Fizz, who can also suddenly jump on you, causing serious damage. And given the fact that Fizz can become immortal, and the strength of your hero is based on sudden rare attacks, this can turn against you. Well, do not forget about Irelya, which has serious additional damage and permanent restoration of her own health, which can seriously harm your plans.
