Zed vs Lillia

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Zed's early burst and mobility to punish Lillia's medium early pressure and avoid prolonged fights.
Prioritize disrupting Lillia's tempo farming by invading before her AP spikes and leveraging your physical burst to deny her scaling.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize invading Lillia's jungle camps early to disrupt her fast AoE clear and delay her AP scaling.
Contest first Scuttle only if your nearby lanes have priority to avoid being caught by Lillia's high mobility and sleep control.
Use vision control around dragon and Rift Herald to force Lillia into unfavorable fights and deny her objective control.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 3 when Lillia's movement speed and sleep (E) can lock you down.
Be cautious contesting objectives when Lillia has vision and can set up (R) sleep to initiate teamfights.
Low-health clears increase vulnerability to Lillia's counter-invades; prioritize healthy clears and vision before engaging.

Early game

Start with a fast full clear to match or exceed Lillia's very high clear speed and contest early Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid early river fights before level 3 as Lillia's speed and sleep setup can punish low-health clears.
Track Lillia's pathing to counter-gank her ganks that rely on (E) sleep setup and coordinate with lanes that can follow up.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks (W)+(E)+(Q) combo, enabling high burst trades and early jungle skirmishes; use this to punish Lillia's lower dueling strength.
Level 6 (R) grants Zed strong all-in and pick potential; track Lillia's ultimate cooldown to engage safely.
First lethality item completion increases Zed's burst damage, allowing more aggressive objective pressure and counter-jungling.

Win conditions

Use Zed's superior burst and mobility to invade and deny Lillia's jungle camps, slowing her AP scaling.
Leverage early ganks and picks enabled by (R) to snowball lanes and secure dragons and Rift Herald.
Maintain river vision to control objective fights and force Lillia into unfavorable engagements, capitalizing on her medium dueling and gank threat.
