Zilean Build Guide
Zilean adds time-manipulation tools to the support lane and sits at a 51.56% winrate with a 2.84% pickrate on patch 16.13.1. Summon Aery suits his poke-focused, peel-heavy approach by layering bonus damage or shields onto his constant casting.
The build starts with Shurelya’s Battlesong, then moves into Imperial Mandate and Bandlepipes, a route built around ability haste, utility, and boosting his impact in team fights. He maxes Q first, followed by E and then W, using Time Bomb to chip enemies and control space. Complete rune pages, item sequencing, and matchup breakdowns can be found in the guide below.
