Working cooperatively, Zed players should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to destroy wih physical damage. When paired, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

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