Pyke vs Zilean

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use brush control and (W) stealth to threaten hooks and deny Zilean's bomb zones.
Prioritize river vision to track Zilean's roam timer and protect mid pressure.
Engage when your ADC can follow up quickly before Zilean speeds or revives them.

Trading pattern

Hide (Q) hook threat in brush, then pull targets into ADC burst with (E) follow-up.
Hold engage until Zilean uses (Q) bombs or (R) revive cooldown to avoid wasted all-ins.
Use ADC burst timing to punish missed (Q) hooks or when Zilean's speed (E) is down.

Danger windows

Respect Zilean's double (Q) bomb stun and ADC speed (E) for disengage or poke.
Avoid engaging when (R) revive is available to prevent wasted all-ins.
Watch for Zilean's poke zones near minion waves that limit your ADC's positioning.

Early game

Win the level 2 race to pressure Zilean before he sets double bombs.
Deny Zilean brush access to reduce his poke and zone control.
Crash waves after pushing to create roam windows and force Zilean to stay lane.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your (Q)+(E) combo for strong pick threat; force fights then.
Level 3 stealth (W) enables safer brush control and surprise engages.
Level 6 execute (R) resets snowball fights; coordinate with ADC for kills.

Win conditions

Convert brush control and hook pressure into denied ADC positioning and picks.
Roam after wave crashes to create numbers advantages and force dragon setups.
Use vision denial and execute resets to secure favorable fights and objective control.

Tip: For Pyke vs Zilean, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Support lane check.
