- Take a point in your R (ultimate) whenever possible (levels 6, 11, and 16).

Zilian Support Laning Phase:

Start with Spellthief’s Edge and Health Potions. Focus on poking the enemy with Q and protecting your ADC. Use E to speed up your ADC or slow down enemies. Remember to ward and use your ultimate to save your ADC or yourself from death.

Zilian Support Mid Game:

Roam and help other lanes. Use your speed boost to quickly traverse the map. Control vision around objectives.

Zilian Support Late Game:

Stick with your team. Your utility will be crucial in teamfights. Use your ultimate wisely to revive key teammates.

Zilian Support during Teamfighting:

- Stay in the backline, using Q to poke and W to reset your cooldowns.

- Use E to speed up engage champions or peel for your ADC.

- Use your R on key teammates who are about to die, preferably your ADC or mid laner.

Zilian Support around Objectives:

Dragon & Baron: Provide vision and use your E to speed up your jungler for smite steals or to escape. Use your ultimate to save teammates during contested objectives.

Zilian Support Synergies:

Heavy auto-attackers such as Jinx, Lucian, Ashe, and Vayne. They have high mobility or decent CC to zone off enemies. Zilean can synergize well by repeatedly increasing their movement speed and slowing the enemies.

Additional Advice on how to play Zilian:

- Timing is crucial with Zilean. Ensure you're using your ultimate at the right moment to maximize its effectiveness.

- Practice landing double bomb combos for stuns.

- Remember that your E can be used both offensively and defensively.

With Zilean on your side, you're never late to the party. Thanks for ticking along with the Zilean Support Guide!
