Playing as Zilean

  • 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.
  • 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.

Playing against Zilean

  • If you're able to match Zilean's speed, it can sometimes be beneficial to wait until his ultimate has faded before landing the killing blow.
  • Zilean is fragile if a team focuses on him, but otherwise he's very difficult to kill. Commit to killing him as a team.
