Guide to Synergizing Sivir and Zed

Tips for Playing as Sivir with Zed

Sivir's Boomerang Blade returns to her after reaching the max range, so you can shift position to hit enemies who would otherwise have evaded it.

Try saving Spell Shield for enemy abilities that can disable you such as stuns and roots.

Ricochet resets Sivir's basic attack timer on activation, so activating this immediately after landing a normal basic attack will maximize damage output.

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 Sivir better when played alongside Zed?

There is no perfect champion pairing for Sivir that will 100% of the time be her #1 teammate. Yet, overall, Zed is a very typical teammate for Sivir. By being on the same team as Sivir, he drops their win rate by -0.7% to 47.2%. This demonstrates that there is only a small bond between Sivir and Zed that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

Zed has a greater difficulty than Sivir. That means you should be very careful when enlisting Zed comrades to fight alongside, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to cooperate well with you.

Playing cooperatively, Sivir players should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal physical damage. When paired, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

In contrast, by bringing Sivir and Zed together, you will not be granting your other allies a lot of AP. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that neutralizes this relative hole in their potential.

Regardless of the skill of your Zed ally, you should focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
