Guide to Synergizing Zilean and Rumble

Tips for Playing as Zilean with Rumble

Time Warp is an effective way to enable allies to finish off enemies, or escape from a losing battle.

Chronoshift is a powerful deterrent to attacking your carries, but casting Chronoshift too early in a fight can cause the enemy to switch targets too soon, making it less effective.

You can combine the use of Time Bomb and Rewind to place two Time Bombs on a target quickly. Placing the second bomb will detonate the first and stun all nearby enemies.

Advice to Understand How Rumble Will Play

If you are winning a fight you can use your ultimate to wall off an escape path.

Try and keep targets in the range of your Flamespitter. It can deal a lot of damage overtime.

Try and pace yourself to stay in the Danger Zone to maximize your effectiveness. It is easy to overheat if you rapidly use your abilities.
