Guide to Synergizing Elise and Zed

Tips for Playing as Elise with Zed

Spider Form is most effective at finishing off enemies with low health; Human Form's Neurotoxin does more damage to healthy foes.

Elise's Spider Form and Spider Form abilities do not cost mana and can be prioritized when you are trying to conserve mana.

When in Spider Form, Spiderlings will attack the target that Elise uses Venomous Bite on.

Advice to Understand How Zed Will Play

Placing a Living Shadow before using Death Mark can give Zed a safe escape from combat.

Saving energy and spell cooldowns until you use your ultimate will maximize Death Mark's damage.

Quickly double tapping Living Shadow will teleport Zed to his shadow immediately for rapid escapes.

Is Elise better when played alongside Zed?

There is no ideal synergy for Elise that will 100% of the time be her ideal synergy. Yet, Zed is a very typical companion for Elise. By being on the same side as Elise, he increases their win rate by 0.1% to 48.2%. This proves that there is a weak synergy between Elise and Zed that results in them performing stronger together than without each other.

Zed has a lower difficulty than Elise. That means you don't need to be cautious when lining up Zed teammates to fight alongside, as they will have to have a lower level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Working cooperatively, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal physical damage. When paired, these two can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Conversely, by aligning Elise and Zed together, you will not be giving your side a lot of crowd control. Make sure to bring other champions on your team that fills this hole in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of your Zed ally's ability, you need to focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
