Aphelios & Xayah - Set 14

Zed Carry – How to Play

🔹 Core Itemization

In this composition, Evenshroud is significantly better than Last Whisper, but that doesn’t mean slamming Last Whisper is a bad choice!

🔹 Game Plan

• The key to this comp is fast Level 8.
• Early game depends on your board strength:
  • If you have a strong board, focus on building key items and pushing Level 4/5 early to maintain win streaks.
  • If your board is weak, consider losing the first 5 rounds intentionally to maintain economy—sometimes, there’s no point in forcing a win when it’s not possible.

🔹 Mid to Late Game Power Spikes

• At Level 8, the priority is to 2-star three core units:
  • Leona, Aphelios, and Xayah.
  • If you can’t 2-star both carries, having one of them + Leona upgraded is enough to start considering Level 9.
• Level 9 Power Spike: This is where the comp gets strong. The ideal additions here are:
  • Garen & Zac – these legends are universally strong and fit into any situation.
  • If you have a Marksman Emblem, you can drop Jinx.
  • If you have a Vanguard Emblem, you can reach 6 Vanguard, adding extra durability.
