Tristana vs Zed

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use level 2 all-in power spike with support follow-up to punish Zed's weak early game.
Convert winning trades into turret plates by stacking (E) and crashing waves.
Avoid passive wave push that exposes you to Zed's poke and roams.

Trading pattern

Engage trades by stacking (E) burst and jump (W) only with support follow-up or reset confidence.
Punish Zed's missed (W) engage by immediately counter-attacking before his cooldown resets.
Avoid trading when (W) and (E) combo is available; dodge (Q) to reduce his poke damage.

Danger windows

Respect Zed's level 3 combo (W)+(E)+(Q) for burst poke and all-in setup.
Avoid overextending when (R) ultimate is available to prevent lethal burst.
Do not jump forward without support if enemy disengage is ready or wave is large.

Early game

Push for level 2 with support to threaten all-in before Zed unlocks his combo.
Crash wave after level 2 to pressure turret and force Zed off the wave.
Reset after winning trades to maintain lane pressure and deny Zed safe recalls.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (W) and (E) for deadly all-ins; push and jump with support ready.
First completed marksman item amplifies burst and turret pressure; turn recalls into plate damage.
Post-level 6, respect (R) window; use it as a cue for defensive resets or decisive all-ins.

Win conditions

Snowball lane by forcing level 2 or 3 all-ins with support and stacking (E).
Convert wave control into turret plates to build gold leads and mid-game pressure.
Use resets from kills to reposition aggressively or safely disengage, enabling mid-game objective control.

Tip: For Tristana vs Zed, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
