ZED ADVANTAGE

✓Watch for Zed's key engage ability and trade immediately during its cooldown window.
✓Do not push past river without vision; Zed thrives when freezing under turret.
✓Rush early tier-2 boots to maintain movement speed spacing during short trades.

Recommended Setup:Conqueror / Fleet Footwork + Inspiration

✓Bait out Kog'Maw's primary skillshot before committing your gap closer.
✓Look for aggressive all-in windows right as you hit Level 2 and Level 6 before them.
✓Build situational defensive components (Merc Treads / Plated Steelcaps) if behind early.
