Guide to Synergizing Zed and Vi

Tips for Playing as Zed with Vi

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 Vi Will Play

A fully charged Vault Breaker will deal double damage. It's great for catching and finishing off fleeing enemies.

Relentless Force does full damage to anyone caught in the shockwave. Use it on minions in lane to hit enemies hiding behind them.

Cease and Desist is a powerful initiation tool, just remember not to get too far ahead of the rest of your team.

How to Play with Vi as Zed in LoL

The Zed Vi synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Vi, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Zed sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Vi. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This negative change shows that Vi helps Zed perform poorer in ranked LoL matches. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is only marginal.

When Zed tries to synergize with Vi, he gets a little increase in his complete damage dealt. This change could signal that Vi supports by providing cover for him to dish out more damage or that her support also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Zed is played together with Vi on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Vi.

Moreover, when Zed plays with Vi on the same team, he usually receives a little less damage than when he plays alone. Receiving not as much damage could indicate that Vi does a decent job of covering Zed during teamfights.

Is Zed better when played alongside Vi?

There is no one best ally for Zed that will no matter what be his best teammate. However, overall, Vi is a very typical companion for Zed. By locking into the same side as Zed, she increases their win rate by 0.4% to 48.8%. This clearly indicates that there is only a small strategic relationship between Zed and Vi that allows them to perform stronger together than without each other.

Vi has a much lower diffuclty than Zed. That means Zed players don't need to be very careful when finding Vi teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Working cooperatively, you should witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal physical damage. Combined, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Although, by bringing Zed and Vi together, you will not be giving your other teammates very much magical damage output. We recommend you pick other champions on your team that nullifies this relative disparity in this pairing's capabilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Vi teammate, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
