Guide to Synergizing Twisted Fate and Zilean

Tips for Playing as Twisted Fate with Zilean

Twisted Fate is viable as an Attack Damage or Ability Power character, letting him fit on many different team compositions.

Stealth characters often escape a battle with very low hit points. Take advantage of Destiny's ability to reveal stealthed units to finish them off.

Coordinate with your allies for the best time to use Destiny to ambush enemies.

Advice to Understand How Zilean Will Play

Time Warp is an effective way to enable allies to finish off enemies, or escape from a losing battle.

Chronoshift is a powerful deterrent to attacking your carries, but casting Chronoshift too early in a fight can cause the enemy to switch targets too soon, making it less effective.

You can combine the use of Time Bomb and Rewind to place two Time Bombs on a target quickly. Placing the second bomb will detonate the first and stun all nearby enemies.
