Timing Flash Frost with Frostbite can lead to devastating combinations.

It can be very difficult for enemy champions to kill her egg early in game. Seize the advantage by playing aggressively.

This signals that there is only a small strategic relationship between Anivia and Zed that results in them performing stronger together than without each other.

Zed has a much lower diffuclty than Anivia. That means Anivia players don't need to be cautious when enlisting Zed allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to be able to fight well with you.

When playing together, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magic damage. Together, these champions are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

In contrast, by aligning Anivia and Zed together, you will not be granting your other teammates very much tankyness. Make sure to include other champs on your team that helps cover this relative disparity in their potential.

Regardless of the ability of your Zed ally, you should focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
