Overview

Use brush control to threaten (Q) pulls that force Zilean's ADC away from positioning.
Deny Zilean's bomb zones by holding fog and lane space to limit his poke angles.
Pressure engage windows when your ADC can burst immediately after a successful (Q) pull.

Trading pattern

Hold (Q) threat until enemy ADC loses minion cover, then pull for ADC burst follow-up.
Avoid Zilean's bomb zones and punish him when (Q) misses to deny poke and lane pressure.
Use (W) chase speed after a pull to secure kills or force enemy back before cooldowns reset.

Danger windows

Respect Zilean's double (Q) stun combo and avoid clustering near bomb zones to protect your ADC.
Beware of enemy ADC follow-up empowered by (E) speed boost during trades; keep ADC safe.
Track (R) revive cooldown to avoid wasting engages on targets likely to be saved.

Early game

Win level 2 by coordinating (Q)+(E) all-in with your ADC to pressure kills and lane priority.
Control brush early to deny Zilean safe bomb setups and reduce his poke impact.

Level 3 adds (W) chase speed; leverage this to punish Zilean's cooldowns and control brush.
Level 6 (R) silence enables all-in or peel; coordinate with ADC for decisive engages or defensive resets.

Win conditions

Convert brush control and hook picks into denied enemy ADC positioning and lane priority.
Roam safely after wave crashes to extend pressure and secure river vision for dragon setups.
Use (R) silence in teamfights to disrupt enemy peel and enable your ADC's burst damage.
