Vex vs Zed

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Vex is an anti-dash burst mage who must use her passive fear to control Zed's mobility and win trades.
Apply lane pressure to deny Zed the calm scaling lane he wants and punish his early vulnerability.

Trading pattern

Use passive fear to start trades and proc electrocute for strong burst damage.
Respect Zed's W + E combo by dodging Zed Q and avoid all-ins when his R is available.
Punish Zed when he wastes W engage or before level 3 when his damage is low.

Danger windows

Zed's all-in is strongest after level 3 with W + E + Q combo and at level 6 with R.
Avoid extended trades if you fail to land fear or if R is on cooldown, as Vex is immobile.
Be cautious when Zed has his R available to dodge your key abilities and finish trades.

Early game

Abuse Zed's weakness before level 3 by applying pressure and forcing him to miss farm.
Use passive fear to interrupt Zed's W + E combo attempts and punish his missed engages.
Keep wave control to limit Zed's all-in windows and maintain lane priority.

Power spikes

Vex's major spikes are level 6 with R for engage and first completed AP burst item.
Respect Zed's level 3 unlock of W-E-Q combo and level 6 Zed R for all-ins.

Win conditions

Use passive fear to consistently win trades and deny Zed's early game pressure.
Punish Zed's missed W engages and low early damage before level 3 to build lead.
Utilize R resets to extend trades and secure kills during power spikes.

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