Tips for Playing as Zilean with Vayne
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 Vayne Will Play
Don't go in first to a large teamfight. Wait for your teammates to initiate.
Tumble has many uses, but it cannot pass over walls.
Condemn can be used to both pin targets to walls to ensure a kill, or to escape a pursuer.

Although, by grouping Zilean and Vayne together, you probably will not be providing your other allies a great deal of protection for burst damage. We recommend you have other champs on your team that nullifies this gap in their playstyle.
Regardless of your Vayne ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
