Guide to Synergizing Evelynn and Zed

Tips for Playing as Evelynn with Zed

If at low health, you can take advantage of Demon Shade's healing and Camouflage to return to the fight and surprise opponents.

While stealthed, pay attention to when you are (near) being detected by enemy champions. This is identified by the glowing yellow and red eyes over nearby enemy champions.

Allure's arm time might seem long, but the Charm and magic resist shred put Evelynn at an exteme advantage so are worth the wait.

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.
