Zilean

Support

Once a powerful Icathian mage, Zilean became obsessed with the passage of time after witnessing his homeland's destruction by the Void.

Strengths

  • 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.
  • 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.

Abilities

  • Passive · Time In A Bottle — Zilean stores time as Experience and can grant it to his allies. When he has enough Experience to finish an ally's level up, he can right-click them to impart it. Zilean receives as much Experience as he gives.
  • Q · Time Bomb — Tosses a bomb to target area that sticks to units that come near it (prioritizes Champions). It detonates after 3 seconds, dealing area of effect damage. If a Time Bomb is detonated early by another Time Bomb, it also stuns enemies.
  • W · Rewind — Zilean can prepare himself for future confrontations, reducing the cooldowns of his other basic abilities.
  • E · Time Warp — Zilean bends time around any unit, decreasing an enemy's Move Speed or increasing an ally's Move Speed for a short time.
  • Ultimate · Chronoshift — Zilean places a protective time rune on an allied champion, teleporting the champion back in time if they take lethal damage.

Team Composition

A suggested 5-lane lineup built around Zilean, based on hero partnerships and role synergy — not win rate.
