Relentless Force does full damage to anyone caught in the shockwave. Use it on minions in lane to hit enemies hiding behind them.

Cease and Desist is a powerful initiation tool, just remember not to get too far ahead of the rest of your team.

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.

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Zed.

Is Vi better when played alongside Zed?

There is no top ally for Vi that will 100% of the time be her top synergy. Yet, overall, Zed is a not very good companion for Vi. By playing on the same side as Vi, he lowers their win rate by -2.8% to 48.8%. This signals that there is a bad strategic relationship between Vi and Zed that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Zed has a greater difficulty than Vi. That means Vi players should be careful when finding Zed allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a greater level of skill to cooperate well with you.

Fighting together, you will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to destroy wih physical damage. When paired, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Conversely, by grouping Vi and Zed together, you may not be granting your other allies a great deal of AP. We recommend you have other champions on your team that helps cover this disparity in this pairing's playstyle.

Regardless of your Zed ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
