Guide to Synergizing Zed and Elise

Tips for Playing as Zed with Elise

Placing a Living Shadow before using Death Mark can give Zed a safe escape from combat.

Saving energy and spell cooldowns until you use your ultimate will maximize Death Mark's damage.

Quickly double tapping Living Shadow will teleport Zed to his shadow immediately for rapid escapes.

Advice to Understand How Elise Will Play

Spider Form is most effective at finishing off enemies with low health; Human Form's Neurotoxin does more damage to healthy foes.

Elise's Spider Form and Spider Form abilities do not cost mana and can be prioritized when you are trying to conserve mana.

When in Spider Form, Spiderlings will attack the target that Elise uses Venomous Bite on.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Elise.

Is Zed better when played alongside Elise?

There is no top companion for Zed that will 100% of the time be his best teammate. Yet, Elise is a very typical companion for Zed. By being on the same team as Zed, she decreases their win rate by -0.2% to 48.2%. This clearly indicates that there is a weak synergy between Zed and Elise that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Elise has a greater difficulty than Zed. That means Zed players should be very careful when finding Elise comrades to fight alongside, as they will need a greater level of skill to do well with you.

Playing cooperatively, Zed players should observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to destroy wih physical damage. When paired, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Although, by grouping Zed and Elise together, you probably will not be giving your team enough support. Make sure to have other champs on your team that helps cover this relative disparity in their capabilities.

Regardless of the ability of your Elise teammate, you should focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
