Learn how to play with Zilean with these essential tips.

All
When Zilean casts his first Q bomb, prepare to follow up when he lands his second bomb for a stun. This 1.1-1.5 second area stun creates an ideal window to land your skillshots or burst damage.
Basic Team Fight Skirmish
Pay attention to who Zilean is likely to use his R (Chronoshift) on in teamfights. If it's you, you can take calculated risks knowing you have a second life. If it's not you, play more cautiously as your mistakes won't be forgiven.
Team Fight
When Zilean uses his E to speed you up, use this window of extreme mobility (up to 99% speed boost) to either engage on enemies or reposition to safety. The effect only lasts 2.5 seconds, so act quickly.
Skirmish Team Fight
Coordinate all-in plays when Zilean's R is available, but be prepared to disengage when it's on cooldown (120/90/60 seconds based on rank). The resurrection effect is critical for successful dives and extended fights.
Team Fight Skirmish
If Zilean is channeling his passive on you, stay in a safe position until the channel completes. The experience boost can give you a crucial level advantage before an objective fight.
Lane Phase
When Zilean slows an enemy with his E (up to 99% slow), use this opportunity to land otherwise difficult skillshots. The 2.5-second window makes landing crucial abilities much easier.
Skirmish Lane Phase
After Zilean's R revives an ally, they're extremely vulnerable for a few seconds. Position to protect them immediately after resurrection, as enemies will often focus them to nullify the revival effect.
Team Fight
Help Zilean place vision safely since he's vulnerable when warding alone. Stay nearby when he moves to ward around objectives, as his survival is crucial for team fights with his R and E.
