Twisted Fate vs Zed

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Twisted Fate aims to control the wave and hold Gold Card threat to punish Zed's all-in attempts.
Maintain medium lane pressure to deny Zed easy access to scaling and avoid giving him passive farming time.

Trading pattern

Use Q and autos to poke and clear waves, holding Gold Card to threaten Zed stepping too close.
Punish Zed's W cooldown if he misses his engage combo, but avoid trading without Gold Card ready.
Respect Zed's W+E combo and focus on dodging Zed Q to reduce incoming damage.

Danger windows

When Gold Card is down, avoid all-ins as Zed's burst and mobility can punish Twisted Fate's low mobility.
Zed R signals high burst threat; keep safe spacing and avoid being caught out.
If Zed uses W to engage and misses, Twisted Fate can punish, but otherwise respect his combo cooldowns.

Early game

Exploit Zed's weakness before level 3 by pressuring with Q and short trades when Gold Card is ready.
Avoid extended duels early; use wave control to keep Zed vulnerable and punish missed W engages.
Prioritize wave priority to enable safe roams after level 6.

Power spikes

Twisted Fate's level 6 R unlocks global pressure and pick potential, key for punishing overextended side lanes.
First completed AP or utility item strengthens Twisted Fate's poke and control.
Respect Zed's level 3 W-E-Q combo and level 6 Zed R as major burst windows.

Win conditions

Control the wave to maintain Gold Card threat and force Zed into defensive play.
Use R to create side-lane numbers advantage and capitalize on Zed's lack of global pressure.
Punish Zed's early vulnerability by pressuring pre-level 3 and denying him safe farm and roams.

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