Guide to Synergizing Zilean and Jayce

Tips for Playing as Zilean with Jayce

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.

Advice to Understand How Jayce Will Play

For increased range and damage, try casting Shock Blast through the Acceleration Gate.

If you find yourself taking lots of damage, try using Jayce's Hammer Stance, as it grants you additional defenses.

Be sure to switch stances often. It will enhance your attacks and grant you quick bursts of speed.
