Guide to Synergizing Zilean and Vex

Tips for Playing as Zilean with Vex

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.

How to Play with Vex as Zilean in LoL

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

Overall, Zilean sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Vex. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This negative change shows that Vex helps Zilean perform worse in competitive League of Legends games. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is only marginal.

When Zilean is paired with Vex, he sees a little drop in his total damage output. This difference may indicate that Vex does not help protection for him to dish out more damage or that their presence on the team also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Zilean is played alongside Vex on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Vex.

Moreover, when Zilean plays with Vex on the same team, he typically takes a little less damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage may mean that Vex does a decent job of protecting Zilean in teamfights.

Is Zilean better when played alongside Vex?

There is no top synergy for Zilean that will 100% of the time be his #1 teammate. However, Vex is a very typical ally for Zilean. By locking into the same side as Zilean, they increases their win rate by 0.7% to 51.4%. This shows that there is a weak synergy between Zilean and Vex that allows them to perform at the top of their game together than without each other.

Vex has a much lower diffuclty than Zilean. That means you don't need to be careful when arranging Vex comrades to play with, as they will require a much lower level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Fighting alongside, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to support your allies. Together, these two will help their other teammates secure a victory.

Although, by bringing Zilean and Vex together, you probably will not be providing your other allies enough anti-tank damage dealing potential. Plan to have other champions on your team that helps cover this relative gap in this pairing's playstyle.

Regardless of your Vex ally's ability, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well, regardless.
