You can also upgrade into blue trinket if the enemy support is a support that's less likely to spam wards such as Soraka, Yuumi, Lulu, and other enchanters / scaling supports. When its passive is down, sweep if in an area you feel is warded. With the recent buff to it's lethality, it is generally a good item for damage as well as its passive. Glaive is 2300 gold and gives you immense value, according to U.GG, it is 125% gold efficient. Ideally Zed should be paired with AP junglers, great examples are Evelynn and Karthus.Your first item should always be umbral glaive. You can get away with blind picking him in soloq since he doesn't have too many bad matchups. Champions that can dodge his ultimate damage or lock him down in place, such as Lissandra. Zed is weak against champions that prevent him from getting kills easily. Once you see opportunity for kill, Zed can take his shadow and use ultimate to oneshot someone and get back to his shadow. Zed should always try to be in the fog and land his combos from a far. In teamfights, as most assassins, Zed should try to kill 1 or more targets and survive, often those targets being squishy carries such as Jinx, Viktor, Jhin, Xerath, etc. His jungle clear is decent, which means he can be played in jungle, but also, as a laner, he can kill jungle monsters very fast and look to clear enemy camps.

His 1v1 is strong and he can always look to outplay and escape if he ends up being in sticky situation. It gives you the most damage you can have very early in game. Zed's first recall he want's to buy Serrated Dirk, it's only 750 gold since he buys long sword at the start of the game. There are tons of creative things you can do with R and W. Zed spikes in lane once he gets lvl 6, his ultimate. If you keep hitting this combo, opponent will eventually have low hp and get into lethal range for kill, which will allow you to switch place with your W shadow at the end of the combo and go for solokill. Basic combo with Q W E is to spawn shadow on top of the enemy with W, use E to slow the target and then try to land both of Qs, one that shadow throws, and the other one that Zed himself throws. After Zed gets pushed in first 2 waves, he can look to fight on bounce(3rd wave) after he gets level 3 and has all of his spells learned. Zed can last hit very efficiently under the tower because his passive makes his auto attacks more dmg to low hp targets. You almost always want to get pushed in first 2 waves, last hit with your Q since it has decently big reach and low CD. His Q has vey high base damage and if you manage to get the isolated damage, hitting 2 to 3 Qs in lane makes you win the matchup. Zed is all about killing and outplaying your opponents, then transitioning your lead to win other lanes and later the game. All those tools makes him very difficult mechanical champion, but also very fun and to play. Zed can also switch places with his shadows by recasting his W or R. Zed's W and Ultimate abilities spawn shadows that copy his Q and E spells, which means you can have 2 shadows up, and yourself as a 3rd character that would throw skills. He is often played in the mid lane but recently he got buffs that allow him to play jungle position as well, which makes him even better champion overall. Zed is one of, if not the best snowballing AD assassins in the game.
