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.

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.

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.
