Guide to Synergizing Zoe and Zed

Tips for Playing as Zoe with Zed

Sleepy Trouble Bubble travels further over walls. Find a hiding spot to set up for a long distance kill.

Break Sleep with your biggest damage source, since enemies who are asleep take double damage.

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.

How to Play with Zed as Zoe in LoL

The Zoe Zed synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Zed, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Zoe sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Zed. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Zed helps Zoe perform poorer in ranked League of Legends games. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Zoe tries to synergize with Zed, she gets a marginal improvement in her full damage dealt. This change may demonstrate that Zed helps provide protection for her to deal more damage or that his participation also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Zoe is played alongside Zed on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays without Zed. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Zed.

Additionally, when Zoe plays with Zed on the same side, she on average takes a little more damage than when she plays alone. Taking more damage could mean that Zed does a poor job of covering Zoe in team fights.

Is Zoe better when played alongside Zed?

There is no perfect companion for Zoe that will no matter what be her #1 teammate. However, overall, Zed is a decent teammate for Zoe. By playing on the same side as Zoe, he improves their win rate by 1.5% to 48.5%. This proves that there is a somewhat important bond between Zoe and Zed that allows them to perform stronger together than without each other.

Zed has a greater difficulty than Zoe. That means Zoe players must be cautious when lining up Zed teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a greater level of skill to work well with you.

When playing cooperatively, you will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. When paired, these champions can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

In contrast, by aligning Zoe and Zed together, you will not be giving your other teammates a lot of utility. Plan to have other champs on your team that offsets this relative disparity in this pairing's capabilities.

Regardless of your Zed ally's skill level, you should focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
